Pros

- Ability to work from home sometimes (This was being limited more and more, but management still seems to get away with WFH whenever they'd like) - Benefits package is at least acceptable as they give you plenty of options to choose from - Casual attire - Most offices have transitioned to open office spaces with no dedicated seating - You can temporarily work from other offices across the country (Which is being limited by management now also) - Sometimes there's free food (leftovers from meetings) - Minneapolis office has free drinks

Cons

- Management states they want to listen to colleagues' inputs on process improvements, training, etc. However, they provide no immediate action - All persons in management do not understand how to effectively manage people. - There is a lot of "Cover you own butt" mentality between you and your colleagues and you and your clients. - Work assignments are not equally distributed between team members and management does not provide any reasonable proof as to why that is the case. - You should expect to work more than 60 hours a week for months on end from May to August and/or October to March. - If you're favored in this position, expect it to be hard to transition to any other team. - There's a lot of CYA when you request PTO and you have to request PTO across 5-7 of your different teams before you're able to ask your manager. They need to make sure the clients you're on have people working when you're off.

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.
