Pros

Great colleagues - people here want to help you succeed and they have a very collaborative culture. Great team culture - work happens in teams, nobody is an island - we all work together to deliver results to our clients Diversity - whether it's in our people or in the work there is a lot of opportunity to learn and grow in the company Professional Development - great intranet site with a lot of resources to learn more about every area of the company. Highly recommended for new folks

Cons

Pay - If you have been here for a while, your pay will typically be below market levels as raises are around 3-4% every year. Bonus - Typically around 90-100% of Target Bonus for an average person each year. Pension - was recently cut again to not include Bonus Pay - which is a large % of compensation for more senior employees. But with low base pay, this was a huge takeaway.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
