Pros

An atmosphere where you are surrounded by stimulating and highly intelligent people who are largely non-political. Career progression is good, particuarly at junior grades and there are many opportunities to get involved in profile raising roles and acitvities.

Cons

Opportunities in non-technical roles can be difficult to find, as business consulting is not always as populas at Detica as they state. Detica is primarily an IT consultancy, so this is where the majority of the opportunities are. Renumeration for junior grades isn't alwas as competitive as else where. There is only very limited scope to work abroad.
