Pros

ERM has some of the best and brightest related to sustainability consulting. You will have an opportunity to interact with extraordinary thinkers and technical specialists in a wide range of fields within Environmental, Health and Safety, and Social Performance.

Cons

Like many large consulting firms, individuals are very competitive. This occasionally affected working relationships (ERM employees competing more with each other than with other firms) and closed opportunities for leveraging a wider range of talent than what senior project managers and partners were comfortable with. They are undergoing ongoing spates of layoffs, which has many within the organization uncertain and leads to a culture of instability rather than growth and creativity.

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
