Pros

I had some amazing peers--smart, creative, hard-working. At the individual contributor and lower managerial levels, there was generally a sense of camaraderie and a willingness to go above and beyond to help others (both clients and fellow employees).

Cons

The company rewards bad behavior and has some genuine bullies in its leadership ranks, a certain "Distinguished VP" being a prime example: he would loom over people while they worked, often assigning essentially impossible tasks and then berating employees when they couldn't accomplish them--either that, or he would ignore you completely, providing zero feedback on your work before unceremoniously reassigning it to someone else. Your needs and preferences as an employee don't even enter into management's thinking; you are just a means to an end--more research, new clients, bigger contracts. Don't bring your real / whole self to work. I saw AMAZING people (who have since gone on to succeed elsewhere) become utterly demoralized and, in some cases, humiliated by management (if they decide they don't like you, they will treat you worse and worse until you quit). I would never work here again nor recommend it to anyone else.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
