Pros

Hybrid work style Some people might be decent There is no micromanagement Somewhat a good learning experience if you are starting out your carreer

Cons

Because there is no management at all As an EIT, they treat you like you are already an engineer and expect you to be autonomous and have it all figured out with little to no guidance. Asking questions is perceived as a nuisance, but not asking any is also a problem. Lack of camaraderie and support system Be ware of those "asked to wear many hats" positions. Wearing one too many hats without one real purpose will leave you burnt out and exhausted. Your performance will not mater at the end, because if their financial projections are not looking good, they'll draw a hat and give you the boot without even batting an eye. And don't expect a good lay off package. If you do decide to work here, I suggest you start saving up immediately.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
