      Good career break... bad for professional development - Risk Management Consultant DNV Employee Review

      Pros

      As a career break is very good. You get a basic salary to pay the bills and a 60% work load throughout the year. Even though it is an O&G consultancy, you rarely (if not ever) have to go offshore, which is very good for the family oriented employee. If you know how to keep low and 'play the (political) game' you are rarely disturbed.

      Cons

      It is definitely not for the career oriented professional as progression is sluggish; there are limited opportunities to get exposed to the field and to networking. The title you hold has no relevance to the salary you get as they are decided by different group of people. Titles too, are not related to seniority nor competence but to the purported knowledge you claim to have.

      Pros

      Culture, work life balance, health benefits, 401k match, sick leave. The work is interesting and the people are great. There are many different business areas, so depending on your expertise, you could move around within the company if you want.

      Cons

      Silos, career development can be unclear and poorly managed depending on who you report to, unclear job expectations depending on your management, unclear path to progress or promotion depending on management, long term employees are paid less and have not been brought up to market value. The cons are more so related to upper management not advocating or helping their team progress. I’ve had some managers who are wonderful, and others that were not when it came to development. It really depends on the team and the department you are part of. The company is huge and it’s easy to get pushed to the side if you do not advocate for yourself and build an internal network.
