Pros

Some gifted minds. Neat national and international clients.

Cons

I can attest that the salaries are sub par for the industry. This may not be true for management and principals, etc. But some senior, entry, and intermediate salaries are not on par, in my opinion. Also other things that are cited on Glassdoor are often rebutted in some long response by Otak. I think it kind of just verifies that these messages aren't landing on fertile ground. Sorta funny.
