Pros

Variety of projects, international extent, some disciplines are excellent, some offices are top-notch.

Cons

Fast growth through mergers of diverse companies has led to loss of individual company cultures. Bureaucracy is getting out of control and impeding work. Beancounters are now making policy at corporate HQ with no apparent regard for how their policies affect the line staff and our ability to satisfy the client - and they don't listen when we approach them and explain why their policies are detrimental to the business. An overall feeling that important decisions are now made elsewhere, by unaware/unknowledgeable people.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
