If you are looking for eDiscovery work, these guys will take advantage of you.
Pros: Good benefits and for some reason everyone is impressed they are on your resume.
Cons: - Field PMs are never held accountable. If they make mistakes, it is swept under the rug or blamed on other departments.  When accountability from the field PMs is requested, the PM manager will often bully other managers until the other team managers are forced to back down.

- The field PMs have little to no experience in the technical side of eDiscovery, and as a result will outright lie to clients about expectations. Then, when things go sideways, they always have other departments to make the scapegoat. It is literally destroying our client relationships, yet leadership is too stuck in their ways to see the problem or too lazy to fix it, or too busy counting their bonus money from a recently acquired high-paying client to care.

- Pay. Their pay is abysmal. Ironically, the pay is worse for people who have been with the company for years than for new hires. New hires are hired on making 20% - 25% more than experienced and knowledgeable staff. There is no upwards mobility. To get a promotion or better raise, you have to leave and be hired back, which has caused us to lose some of our best talent who have never returned.

- No upward mobility. If you are being promised a culture where people train their replacements and promotions are handed out fairly, you are being lied to. Plan to be stuck in your position for 3-4 years before getting a promotion or a descent raise.

- Culture. PM team literally looks down on anyone not in their department. I have seen them deride and berate members from other departments almost to the point of tears. They are brutal and are never held accountable for their terrible attitude and hostile work environment in the office.
