Pros

- Strong leadership - Perks of traveling to new locations and splurging on food - Some interesting projects - Young people working in office

Cons

- Officially did layoffs this year, project pipeline is still bad so expect PIPs and low promotion rates - Micromanagement culture (will be scrutinized on stupid things like how to write an email or what font you are using on a deck) - Find projects yourself and network while on a project where you have to work 70-80 hour weeks. Why is there no support on helping you get on a project?? - Terrible WLB. If you raise it as an issue, it will be used against you. Just keep your head down and always talk about how great the company, your managers and your job is.
