Pros

Co-workers are mostly serious, do their work, are pleasant to be around, and are reasonable people. I enjoyed my time with these co-workers. There is a good emphasis on health and safety. The base salary is good.

Cons

Senior management expects a completely unrealistic profit margin, and the gap between expectations and reality is growing. The partners' collective greed is detrimental to the overall company. Senior management seems to take no role in shifting work loads from those who are overloaded to those who need work. The claim of one global company does not occur in practice. Staff have conflicting goals because managers try to manage project budgets but lower-level employees need to bill as many hours as possible. ERM is too tightly linked to coal, oil, and mining, which are diminishing industries because of their environmental harm. ERM is very cheap regarding expenses necessary to conduct work. The open office layout makes for a noisy work environment with co-workers having discussions at full volume and taking phone calls at their desk. The emphasis on health and safety gets out of control, eating too much meeting time. Health and safety is the only training provided; you are expected to do other training on your own time. Bonuses do not correspond to effort (extra hours worked).

Pros

Interesting projects, flexible work hours, ability to pivot to new disciplines and teams

Cons

Employees are getting squeezed by increasingly difficult metrics, with less compensation, less work won because rates are now set so high. Less and less investment in employees through benefits and upskilling. Managers are spread so thin they can’t give time to their team.
