Pros

- Pay is okay, not the best but given work life balance can't complain much - Work can be interesting if lucky enough to be on a good project, probably 50/50 in terms of good vs boring projects

Cons

- Very hierarchical team structure - Team is full of ex-consultants from BCG, Deloitte, etc. and they bring that culture with them - Opinions don't feel valued if you are below director level - Get cut out of, or am not even told about, some major meetings with stakeholders until after the meetings are done since they were "director and above" meetings. Doesn't make sense because it's a remote meeting anyway, and the time spent needing to translate what happened so I can get my work done is like playing broken telephone

Pros

Riverside around WTC is pretty nice

Cons

OMG the worst company I've ever been. There are a lot of small groups inside the department, and most of them are mean and rude.
