Pros

I have met some of the most intelligent, friendly and talented professionals in this company. The projects are highly varied and interesting. They maintain a results-focused approach which allows a high level of flexibility, so long as you get your work done and clearly communicate your plans.

Cons

From my experience, ERM has poor leadership when it comes to work / life balance. There is an unwritten expectation that junior and intermediate staff will work in excess of the standard 40 hours per week, and perform well at all times despite being faced with conflicting project pressures, with little to no guidance, and poor communication from senior consultants and partners.

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
