Pros

Work with and learn from lots of smart folks with deep expertise. Many interesting, complex and challenging projects for some of the largest, most sophisticated clients. Gain business acumen while participating in efforts that have significant real-world impacts.

Cons

Like many large companies, probably more bureaucracy, structure and systems than necessary.

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
