Pros

Lots of opportunities to explore different roles/businesses, culture of internal promotion, great IP, very strong brand, the people are high caliber, global business gives a lot of credibility and a strong network of colleagues.

Cons

Pay. Career paths aren't readily available or intuitive for support roles- you have to make your own opportunities. Culture/identity shifts are constant due to growth by acquisition. Menu of services changes too much to allow a consistent message to clients and internal staff. Supporting roles are generally secondary to those that are client-facing; development opportunities align with that focus.

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
