Pros

Lots of interesting work globally, nice people, complex projects and exposure to interesting sectors

Cons

Non competitive pay, limited opportunities for promotion given flat structure and large jump between SA and Principal roles. Most people are nice, however a small number of toxic leaders and back stabbing had a lasting effect on culture and undermined the positive experiences

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
