Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former

Long hours, office politics, unfair ratings
Pros: 5 weeks of vacation, great training, buddy system/mentorship program was helpful to new hires, managers, sr managers and partners were very smart and capable
Cons: The hours were long, but that's expected of the industry and the profession. There were too much office politics at the location I was working at. I witness staffs receiving discrimination for projects or made to work tough jobs 100% of the time because of unfair gossip/reputation. The performance review process was not transparent: negative formal reviews are unforeseen and catches staffs by surprise, when it should be communicated to the staffs immediately to give people chances to improve.
