Wouldn't Recommend
Pros: Great benefits. People are very nice for the most part. Lots of opportunities for community involvement.
Cons: Your promotion or success in this firm is majority based on who you know and who you are "buddy buddy with". In some offices, it seems like a big "boys club" of managers and above that coast solely based on their connections in the firm. If you aren't bragging and talking about how much you work on the weekends or holidays, it is assumed you aren't willing to do so. What you are left with are a lot of managers that have coasted through to the promotion based on who they know and not WHAT they know. This then leads to seniors and staff becoming the scapegoats for lack of management involvement and leadership. There tends to be a large gap between management and below. Leadership tends to keep staff and seniors out of meetings directly related to fieldwork and will penalize them later for not incorporating the needed changes. If you are looking for a fun, teaming environment, I would not recommend it here.
