"Managers and colleagues are supportive of work-life balance, but company policy is not (only 2 weeks of paid paternal leave - they claim this is on par with industry standards). If you try hard, you can carve out work-life balance for yourself. The company is becoming more open to employees working fully remotely. "

"Pros
Company provides lots of opportunities for young professionals, including decision making
Working on multiple clients keeps my job interesting and provides exposure to new opportunities
Multiple clients provides an opportunity to work with a diverse group of peers/mentors
Billable hours makes you more valuable in many positions that would often be considered overhead
Emphasis on professional development for career growth
Annual reviews with regular salary increases
Women in leadership positions
Somewhat flexible work schedules and offers a work/life balance
Competitive 401K with company match
A nice balance of having processes in place, but not an abhorrent amount of red tape
Scholarship program offers $5K/year for training
Competitive benefits (for families too)
Some social activities (i.e. happy hours, company events, community service, holiday parties)
Casual dress code
Long standing company with positive reputation
Cons
Working with multiple clients means altering to the work style of a wide range and types of colleagues
High turnover, especially at entry level
Nonprofit clients are sometimes slower to adapt to new trends/technology
Client industries can sometimes be boring
Regular corporate jargon used inside the bubble that is not always on par with industry speak, but is admired from within
Shortage of respected mentors"
