Pros

Exposure to diverse client base across Asia Pacific, allows travel to cover the region and secondment. Great training ground across a vast array of services.

Cons

Very rigid remuneration policy and limited bonus potential until you hit Principal. Feel over-achievers are not sufficiently rewarded. Cost control over the past 4 years makes covering the region difficult, no business class until 9 hours.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
