Pros

ES&I has job security and there are a bunch of smart, hard working people on the team. My team also respected work life balance

Cons

poor fit with my assigned pathfinder/'boss', not great pay and underwhelming annual raises, unlimited PTO is a joke if you want to be promoted, isolating to work 100% remote when stuck on projects with the same people.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
