Pros

Highly intelligent employees that making working here exciting and entertaining. Ability to work from home. Sizable bonus potential.

Cons

Ultimately I've decided to leave because there was no upward mobility for women. Take a look at executive page. For small group of women that are against the grain, none of us received salary increases whereas men did. The fight was continual and the struggle was REAL. Once, in a meeting with two men, the CEO would only make eye contact with the men in the room, even though a woman was leading. It was a really cold, awkward and inhuman work environment and most disappointingly, HR serves only to put you down, daily. Big brother has nothing on centric digital. All desks have cameras overheard, and ALL internal communication and chats are read. Even private... Even off the record. Everyone is scared and resort to whispers in the kitchen and bathroom where HR purposely comes to break it up. We were once told that groups of three talking were not acceptable and would be broken up. I can't make this up. Another previous employee got called in for vocalizing in a private conversation that she was not happy. Others have had panic attacks, forced to work insane hours to meet made up deadlines- just to test how they handle the pressure. For what? I can't believe I haven't even gotten to management. All the exco are socially awkward. There's exceptionally high turnover, aside from one team with a stellar and personable boss. All suggestions and initiatives for culture and gender equality were shot down. It's all about profits and being billable. Everyone is a rusty cog in the wheel of manning. Dubbed the castle of psychosis, where hand driers are placed on the ceiling and fruit is forbidden, (the benefit of) plates and silverware are threatened to be taken away upon seeing a dirty dish in the sink and only color coordinated chocolate is allowed. There's no board or accountability for their unjust actions, empathy is non-existent and employees are disposable.

Pros

Great Team - everyone really works well with each other and enjoy working individually and in groups. Good sense of comradery amongst the teams. I moved on for person reasons which did not have to do with the job.

Cons

Long hours, but they are rewarding given what we are working on for the client. Also, the benefits balance things out. Flexible schedule also helps - other than that there were no negatives.

Pros

​- ​Coworkers are all nice people and they all work hard/are willing to pitch in when there's an influx in client work. - HR is very personable - best HR I've ever worked with - Events like birthday lunches and weekly lunches make it a nice work setting for connecting with your team - Flexible working schedule, people understand if you need to duck out of the office for a doctor's appointment or a day to work from home - Work/life balance is good, albeit partly due to ebb/flow of client work and bandwidth

Cons

- The company culture only cares about billable work and staying billable. Not conducive for thought leadership work - The process for new business development and sales is an absolute joke. No real resources dedicated to it (see above: billability obsession) - Regional offices could be connected better. People often forget that they can (and should) connect with their colleagues in the branch offices in Australia and San Francisco. - Turnover rate is high. Management could do more to address the high turnover. - Have yet to see any training opportunities for career growth or management. While most of the manager-level folks here are great, some of managers here could use serious training in sensitivity and communication. ​- recent client scope replanning has made a mess of the company morale; top down communication is at best vague and infrequent​ and at worst inconsistent and dishonest.
