Pros

I learned so much working at ERM that I doubt I'd have elsewhere. Although it was clear to me that I'd remain junior consultant for almost forever, it satisfied me to be in touch with so many different projects and professional experiences. It seemed that either higher positions were filled by external professionals or ones who were personally connected to the directors and president.

Cons

All I learned at ERM enabled me to grow professionally at other companies. About salaries and benefits, all i can say is that it hurts to see how much clients are charged and how much we actually got paid...Although an international company, I saw zero chance mobility to other ERM offices worldwide.

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.
