Awful disparities in pay between men and women

Senior scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible scheduling, diverse projects, generally very friendly coworkers.

Cons

Pay and benefits not competitive. In my department, 85% of the women have graduate degrees, compared to 5% of the men. We generally have more experience. Yet are overlooked for management positions, and payed less than men with equal or lesser experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, good projects, great junior staff, generally nice offices, flexible working conditions, diverse client base, giant global multidisciplinary beast.

Cons

Welcome to 1984! Doublespeak galore. Horrible bullying management. Very low technical capability despite their claims. Only concern is high staff utilisation at any cost which drives very bad behaviours. Worst company I ever worked for.

Depressing, Frustrating and Soulless Work Environment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours and very nice, intelligent coworkers. New, very good maternity leave policy. There is little else positive to say.

Cons

Unnecessarily complicated accounting systems that leave project managers frustrated and confused. Poor benefits that are expensive Nine box review is a joke which uses an outmoded forced curve to rank employees. Poor raises and no bonuses this year. Upper management is cruel, macho, and egotistical. Few women in management Every single year the company reorganizes. Manager and staff workload is unbelievably large. Lack of focus on the client.
