Pros

OW is a professionally run organization that offers the opportunity to showcase skills and really grow in your role. The workplace varies based on the 5 subsidiaries that make up OW, but for the most part, it's what you would expect from a NY-based consultancy. Very flexible work arrangements, long hours, and overall, very intelligent, dedicated, and diligent people, from the bottom to the top of the organization.

Cons

Working at a consultancy, you are a slave to the ups and downs of the economy. Essentially a luxury more than a necessity, you have to worry about the ebbs and flows of industry. During good economic times, the business and workplace is thriving and filled with energy. During a downturn, job losses and downsizing are a harsh reality.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
