Pros
- Good benefits; besides the pay and bonus. - You can learn a lot from multiple experts inside the firm. As a global company, there are people with international experience in multiple projects from a specific industry. - When available, good exposure to client interaction; there is a real and frequent interaction with the client's C-suite.
Cons
- Extremely poor mentorship. Even when you have frequent reviews with the project manager, your mentor won't get any visibility of your performance, and he/she is the one who reviews your case in the formal evaluation with the senior management team. - Very, very long working hours. It was usual to work over 80 hours per week. A normal working day started at 0700AM and ended with meetings around midnight. Nonetheless, on Fridays, you work until 0500PM. - Due to the current industry challenges, there were minimum opportunities for a new employee to be staffed on projects.
