Pros

Lots of different interest groups and avenues to learn and develop in within the firm. Good variety of work going on in the office and across the country. Opportunity is there for younger staff to take ownership over their work & interests (if you want to work lots of OT). Good support for those pursuing licensure.

Cons

Poor project management and leadership leads to lots of unpaid overtime. Bad communication between project "leaders" leads to frustration for everyone, wasted time and poor financial performance for the project/firm (and more unpaid OT for junior staff). Programs in place to compensate employees for lots of overtime but they aren't used. Compensation generally average to below average for the field. No regular raises, minimal end of year bonuses. Experience of working here can be highly project dependent.

Pros

Lots of corporate perks, ARE, remote work

Cons

Figure this out early. They are looking for strong corporate citizenship and follower of corporate culture. So, if you say the wrong thing around the water cooler, you will be seeing the HR soon. Be a zombie, get it right the first time and you will keep your job.
