Pros

Good pay, good benefits. Nothing more beyond that.

Cons

After I filed reports with Employee Relations, my manager would confront me and say things like "You should not have involved Employee Relations", and he would try to intimidate me. I was often used as a scapegoat when someone else was to blame or it was an issue beyond my scope. I was expected to put in extra hours to meet unreasonable deadlines. I finally had enough and resigned without having a new job lined up. The firm has several Employee Resource Groups and takes pride in their Mental Health Ambassador program, but it's mostly just a show. They do not actively really get involved or do events that Resource Groups should do to promote a healthy, psychologically safe, work environment. There are no consequences for management that bullies employees and uses scare tactics to intimidate those at a lower level. Be prepared to go into the office three days a week. This is the expectation and if you are not going in at least three days a week, you are placed on the "naughty" list and reprimanded.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
