Pros

Exciting work. Smart, interesting colleagues. More emphasis on real-world impact than peer consulting firms.

Cons

Expect lifestyle compromises. Employer brand isn't as well known as competitors, doesn't necessarily carry as much weight with future employers.

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.
