Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Great place to work but expectations of work/life balance are often not met.
Pros: Great Career opportunities, many chances to learn from the experts about the technical and emerging issues while also building valuable core knowledge concepts. Many other chances to travel and learn from different service arms of the firm.
Cons: The competitiveness of employees on the same team, which is often made worse by office politics. Overall, a team atmosphere of completing work and serving the client is often absent while many try promote themselves. Even though they tout the respect of a personal work/life balance on a firmwide level, many times this is disregarded as it is handled on a local (office) basis.
