Pros
Great co-workers in the rank and file Generally interesting work Opportunity to interact directly with clients, even if you are new or junior
Cons
Other reviewers have highlighted the terrible work-life balance and the management's knack for making every mistake in the book; I agree with those conclusions fully. One area that hasn't been called out is the overt sexism and subtle misogyny in the way that key managers interact with employees. Some routinely walk up to two female employees who are talking and ask them "are you talking about purses and shoes?" Offhand, off-color, sexist remarks are brushed away as being "funny". Today, in an all-company meeting, where a female employee was being recognized for her performance, one manager remarks to everyone "as you can see, she's photogenic. we should get her out in front of clients more". When issues are brought to the management's and HR's attention, there is always denial and blaming of the victim using loaded words like "overly sensitive", "flighty", "immodest", "ungrateful", "immature", and "aggressive". There has even been the rare instance of manager misconduct under-the-influence, where there were no obvious consequences. Women are rarely promoted to key positions of real authority, and when they are, it is usually in roles where you have to "make nice" with such a sexist manager. Even when there are opportunities to lead new initiatives, women are asked to lead stereotypical operational or housekeeping initiatives, while the male counterparts get to lead tasks that are seen as business-critical. And then, there's the subtle racism. Nearly 100 employees, and not a single black woman or man on the team.
