Pros
The handful of exceptional, talented, hardworking people in each office who get things done.
Cons
Recent reviews are spot on. Bloated upper management that is out of touch with the lower ranks who are in the trenches doing the work. Too many lawyers, nurses, "researchers" and other highly compensated unbillable staff that provide questionable value to the firm. RAMPANT unprofessional and downright unethical behavior in plain sight. Nepotism and favoritism are the status quo. People responsible for major screw ups on projects get promoted while the low level staffers who inherit the problems get told that they need to "show more initiative." Self aggrandizing design principal with out of control ego. Zero work life balance. Zero professional respect, especially if you are a young professional. Zero opportunity for advancement unless you schmooze with a select handful of people. Expect to hear that your work is subpar from individuals who leave promptly at 5:30 every day while you juggle multiple deadlines at the same time. When your work is outstanding the same people fall over themselves to take credit. Company announced acquisition of new firm the same week it announced there would be no 401k matching due to financial hardship. Too much money wasted on rebranding, employee satisfaction survey and other inconsequential initiatives instead of retaining top performers. This is just a taste, I could go on forever. Working here turned me into a miserable cynic. I hated myself every day like someone else mentioned and its taken time to unlearn bad habits.
