Pros

People doing day to day work are intelligent, driven, and very kind Team socialising is great Work is interesting and get to work with committed clients

Cons

No time for learning and development No time for service development No recognition for the work you do beyond praise Performance rating entirely driven by billable hours Team leads have no power to change things Clunky organisational systems and processes Seems to be well known that you have to find ways to 'cheat the system' to progress Complete lack of diversity in socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, lack of ethnic diversity in partners and leaders Slow promotions that seem to be dependent on who your manager is
