Pros

Budgets for external qualification through training seem to be on the increase. They are addressing concerns around performance assessment. Great work life balance seems to depend on the project, flexible working arrangements can be agreed on a project by project basis. Really clever people with lots of interesting. Some leading technology being used and built. Good place to grow your career in different areas, very much on you to drive it forward. London office is vibrant, diverse and there's a really good vibe Some big bid wins guarentee lots of work over the next few years.

Cons

Unless you do work for your practice, run some sort of training course (regardless of its actual value), ingratiate yourself into higher tiers of management and generally make a lot of noise about what you've done, you will get overlooked. High attrition, feels higher than industry standard, lots of key technical staff leaving. Leadership seems at a complete disconnect from those on the ground. Pay not as competitive as other top tier consultancies. Little consistancy across projects, even those working for the same client group.
