Pros

• Great exposure to large, complex projects. • Opportunities to work across different disciplines and sectors. • Many smart and talented colleagues. • Flexible hybrid/remote options in some teams. • People at headquarters are solid professionals and generally mean well, but they’re often buried with other responsibilities and disconnected from local office politics and realities

Cons

• IMEG is very acquisition-driven, and not all acquisitions integrate smoothly. The local office went through an M&A, and it’s never felt the same since. Morale took a hit, and there’s still an “us vs. them” dynamic years later. • Processes and standards vary greatly between offices, leading to inconsistency and rework. • Communication from upper management can feel disconnected from day-to-day realities. • Workload can be overwhelming during peak times, and resources don’t always keep pace with project demands. • Growth opportunities can feel limited if you’re not in a good relationship with your local office leadership. • The company expects staff to perform in a seller-doer model even when the market is down, which adds stress and creates unrealistic revenue expectations for technical staff who may not be interested in business development training or networks. • Salary is way below par compared to industry standards, especially for the level of responsibility and workload expected.
