Pros

-Flexible WFH arrangements - don't need to burn PTO for a cold. -Great learning experience, formal training offered -Ability to join national teams and vary up your job (in theory) -Generous expense reimbursement for travel (not stingy there) -Good budget for office activities -Very capable people for the most part -Inclusive culture, casual dress, flexible hours

Cons

-Billable hours model doesn't reward innovation - rates are high and you get grilled if you bill more than expected for something -Multiple tiers of 'leaders' you'll never meet that make triple+ what you do -Generally bad pay for the hours, especially in actuarial. Would rather turn over than promote or pay market adjustments. Creates staffing nightmares. -People take on multiple "jobs" without back-filling. Financials are great but clients suffer. Employees get blamed for what's really an unsustainable model.

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.
