Pros

Interesting work in the infrastructure group Overall it is a nice place to work Flexible working hours and no 'hours' culture

Cons

The pay is very poor compared to competitors. Not a good place to come as a graduate(financially) as your pay is less than those who join from other firms who are on the same grade. The midlands office is isolated which makes it difficult to have any office culture. Moving up initially is not based on performance, everyone gets the same salary increase/grade increase no matter how much work you produce.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
