Pros

Excellent individual consultants and great resources for clients

Cons

Terrible middle management across the company. Too many inexperienced managers (often former actuaries) running the company who lack people skills, formal management training, and basic empathy.

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.
