Pros

Great clients, occasionally gives bonuses

Cons

The Chicago office feels like a place where only certain people fit in. It genuinely felt like a country club with mostly white women who didn't offer diverse perspectives. It was not an ideal place to work. The best part about the job was my clients.

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
