Pros

Love the office, the environment in it and the colleagues are amazing and very friendly. They don’t force to stay on a project you don’t want for too long.

Cons

Management is not great, impossible to progress career if you don’t play politics, it’s all based on who you know and not on your skills. They assign you to do any kind of job, it doesn’t matter what is your experience as they have a thin pipeline and they need to make money, otherwise you spend lots of time on the bench.

Sorry to hear your experience was below what we intend. Given we’ve been so busy across all parts of our business for the past 18 months, and growing rapidly to meet such high demand, I would have hoped you could have benefitted from the size and variety in the pipeline of work.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
