Pros

Some supportive colleagues who worked hard despite the challenges.

Cons

Shift allocation was unfair and poorly managed, often leaving the desk understaffed and me repeatedly covering late shifts alone. Bonus and performance review process lacked transparency — some colleagues had negative reviews removed, while others were upheld without explanation, affecting fairness in pay. Management frequently absent during key hours and delegated responsibilities to peers, creating confusion and conflict. Raising concerns about fairness and transparency was met with resistance and eventually led to my dismissal, without due process.

Pros

Opportunity to excel in many topics or a niche topic. Interesting, innovative, challenging projects so one is never bored. Collaborative teams and consistent learning from events, conferences, webinars, speakers. Pay for graduate degree (1 class/year if you pass). Incredibly devoted employees.

Cons

Painfully subjective salary, bonus, and promotion systems based on line manager, service line, and threats to depart company. Exhausting pace of work burns out hardest workers with little to no reward. KKR buy out changed company from warm and congenial to cold and competitive. Company expects volunteering and internal engagement but only rewards for billability. Your best is never enough. Goal posts keep moving.

Pros

Environmental knowledge and experience. Excellent environmental consultants

Cons

Consultants are overworked and Management does not have experience and capabilities. No experience, capabilities and knowledge around industrial operations. All consulting is based in theorical and assumptions. Even at Senior consultant or partner level, except for environmental matters where qualification is excellent.
