Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Well-known global company, but stiff culture and skill mismatch
Pros: - Large, well-known company and foot in the door with "The Big Four"
- Exposure to consulting, business processes, government contracts
- Solid compensation and benefits
- Some very smart and hardworking employees, but also some who push all the work to less senior members and then take credit for it
Cons: - Very hierarchical and ideas/creativity from more junior team members were not welcomed
- Work culture varies widely by team--Some managers recognize an employee may work many extra hours at nights and weekends and are more flexible in work schedule while some managers/teams expect early to the office and long hours EVERY day. Some managers allow some work remote or at sister offices closer to your home, however this team did not.  
- High burnout among employees at all levels and little employee recognition. This also led to high turnover on the team
- Very little communication between projects/teams even in the same practice
