Pros
- Great place to gain a diverse range of experience on IT usage in different industries. Job varies greatly from day to day offering a huge amount of variety - Very motivated and intelligent co-workers - Generally very good atmosphere in London office - Nice office, great location in central London - Good work life balance, and allowed flexible work hours - Well recognized brand - Opportunities to work with great clients (most of whom are Global 500) - Regular company communication and updates - Very good pay package especially for a company of its size
Cons
- Very change averse (unless change is being dictated by exec management). Swimming against the stream will get you absolutely nowhere - Culture encouraged by Colony around competition for consulting work leads to constant turf wars and coverage area fiefdoms. Extreme arrogance from certain analysts is tolerated and seemingly even encouraged - A lot of internal meetings that lead to more internal meetings -- rarely accomplish anything and are often just a chance for people to winge at impotent middle management - Bonus structure was ridiculous - Lack of local management and thus control over career trajectory - Incredibly US centric
