Pros

Well, when there’s not enough project work you can get away with not bothering to come into the office way longer then you’d think possible.

Cons

This office changes its management structure often because people keep leaving. It’s also hard to attract good people when you have a dysfunctional work environment. As a result the people in charge of winning new projects often can’t, and when they do there isn’t enough staff to properly handle the work. You’re either bored out of your mind waiting for something to happen or frantically trying to do the work of three people.

Pros

No need to find things to do in your free time - work/life balance doesn’t exist. If you are successful, the expectations just increase.

Cons

This firm has lost its entire culture. Top level executives have no idea what is happening on the ground- completely out of touch with its employees.

Pros

There is air in the office although management try and suck that and replace it with their toxic fumes. Very high level of skills and experience within the teams, but recognition is non-existent from group leads and above. End up just being another number. Some good and varied projects, opportunities to move between offices.

Cons

(Mis)Management. Complex structure. What do these people do on a daily basis, except apply more pressure and less recognition. Systems are clumsy and not geared up to help Project Managers. Used more a tracking system and a stick to beat you with. Performance reviews are a joke. Work all year to told your average. Do they not realize the nine box rating system doesn’t work. It will drive the talent away and they will be left with the average employees. Bit of a club. If you’re not in the social mix, you’re going nowhere fast (or slowly).
