Pros

-work life balance -friendly, laid back office -major projects, industry shaping work

Cons

-leadership behaviours misaligned with vision and values- talk the talk but not walking the walk -have lost considerable talent in past 18months at all levels, and seemingly unconcerned about it -leadership/management recognise business' (and their own) weaknesses, but do little about it -compensation -highly politicised, transformation and growth is driving 'protect your own back' behaviours

Pros

Great staff level co-workers who were friendly., intelligent and always willing to help out. An environment of job site safety was fostered.

Cons

There was a high turnover in the staff and most people were unhappy in their work there. Management had no idea how to lead and work was all about meeting your billable hours. Advice would be don't consider working there. When you interview they will talk about career advancement and how great it is to work there. Do not believe it .

Pros

Remote Worker, Health Benefits, Shrinking pockets of good folks

Cons

Continuous push for billability has hyper-enabled an already existing culture of cannibalism, work-hoarding and outright work theft. Continuous negative messaging from top of the organization about financial performance has reached junior and administrative staff. Morale at historic low. Rewards and accolades for many who know how to game the financial numbers. Conflicting messaging from top - “We need to win more work”, yet “You need executive-level approval to travel see a client” Continuous messaging showing staff traveling the globe with apparently no billable work to show for it. Measures implemented to improve financial performance feel more punitive than corrective. Example: Cancel company year-end parties in July. Top performers fight to get minimal raise in 2016. “Pay-for-performance” mantra abandoned without explanation.
