Pros

- All the junior staff are amazing - Flexibility to work remotely

Cons

- Lots of office politics, especially in the Water group in New York. Your performance review & standing can sink if a manager whispers gossip about you - Local directors/leaders are borderline incompetent (wasting people's time pursuing a topic that will never generate sizable revenue for the company) - Low pay compared to comparable firms - Salary increases are based on managers fighting over a cash pool & prioritizing the list of their direct reports - Any HR complaints/reports submitted takes a long time to get a response from, and only gets escalated when it's too late

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
