Pros

Lots of really great people to work with, on interesting projects, for interesting clients. A well-recognised name in the industry, with strength in its core areas. People can advance, and promotions tend to be fair.

Cons

Company promotes people who are good individual contributors into management roles without consideration as to whether they are actually good managers. IT is woefully outdated. Learning and development opportunities are limited.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
