Pros

Work is interesting, people are nice and we have lots of flexibility, especially now that they are putting in the tried and failed hoteling concept in several core offices. Pay is good and the office space is nice (pre-hoteling).

Cons

Leaders are often not as qualified as those they lead (this is on the Willis, pre merger side and we hoped that would change but it has not so far). Not much transparency about the merger (what's really going to happen). No growth potential. Raises are miniscule. There are junior people who need a lot of mentoring and receive none. Promotions seem to be based on seniority and not capabilities.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
