Good culture and atmosphere

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has good culture and atmosphere, and the team is great.

Cons

The job itself may not be so interesting if you want to do creative work or have more human interactions at work. It's mostly about desktop research and report writing. And the industry is a small one so there are not so many career options in the future.

By far the best company I worked for!

Business Outlook

Pros

No word can describe how great my team and manager are! Everyone is always willing to help and let you grow within the team. Also, hierarchy in the team does not exist which makes it easy to reach out to even the most senior heads of the company. HR have also adjusted salaries to match inflation rates which is also a plus!

Cons

It takes a little long to climb the corporate ladder.

Pros

- Interesting projects and clients - International exposure - Great team culture (depending on your team)

Cons

- Bonus got slashed due to group structure change (which led to our group not hitting the target, even though our department did) - Political at the top, old boys club. - Firm is not run by professionals and business leaders - instead it's run by all the old boys (ie. former intelligence/military folk (who are great at what they do but not really at runnning business)

Pros

The nature of what this firm does is interesting and needed in the world.

There is nothing global about this company- it’s language, culture, communications, style and management team are all highly British in nature. If they are seeking to be diverse, they have missed the mark.
