Pros

- All the junior staff are amazing - Flexibility to work remotely

Cons

- Lots of office politics, especially in the Water group in New York. Your performance review & standing can sink if a manager whispers gossip about you - Local directors/leaders are borderline incompetent (wasting people's time pursuing a topic that will never generate sizable revenue for the company) - Low pay compared to comparable firms - Salary increases are based on managers fighting over a cash pool & prioritizing the list of their direct reports - Any HR complaints/reports submitted takes a long time to get a response from, and only gets escalated when it's too late

Pros

global company if you like that. some interesting projects

Cons

very self centered and manipulative culture. hierarchical in the worst way possible. not people oriented and extremely toxic environment where office politics and big egos get rewarded easy to spot that management does not lead or care about its people but views them as a resource to manipulate and exploit. different service lines do not play nicely with one another. zero sense of altruism here. lots of turnover and unfortunately not just because of the hot market but because of the toxic environment. crippling beaurocracy and very very little accountability sink or sink
