Pros

Most people are friendly. There are a lot of collaborations and partnership even at the senior level. People seem to genuinely care about what they do and are very passionate in creating good work. For people who are new to the firm, they pro-rate your performance goals during the first year so you have time to adjust. Big name and brand recognition in the HR consulting market.

Cons

The pay is very, very, very, very below the market. My offer was more than $100K less than my last job for the exact same field and role. Even after a lot of negotiations, it was still almost 30% lower. They use offshore shared services for a lot of the internal functions so urgent requests can take up to a week to get through the queue and priority. Although the company made a lot of effort to rebrand, it's still very heavily focused on benefits and comps.

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.
