Advisory Staff
Pros: - when on a project, opportunities to travel
- some really great people (though I think that’s bound to happen at a huge firm) 
- good vacation time/healthcare benefits
Cons: - there’s a lot of advertising about innovation but in the year I’ve been here, I haven’t seen a lot of on the ground innovative work being done that isn’t done everywhere else
- people at the top have a ton of power... very little input from anyone below a manager level
- success isn’t necessarily determined by how well you work, but getting on the good side of higher-ups, who are often extremely narcissistic.
- knowing your way around the politics is more important than doing good work
- no reviews of higher-ups; only top down reviews
- often have to put in your own work to get staffed, experience managers are responsible for way too many employees
- way too much bench time... current employees aren’t even staffed but they’re bringing on more every year
- if you don’t get your own projects, your placement in roles is often not at all related to your interests
