Pros

Fairly decent location, facilities, parties and... marketing materials. Good mix of friendly and excited junior people. Interesting benefits and good pay.

Cons

Total lack of market strategy. Lots of boasting about big brands across the regions but in reality basically serves staff augmentation and temporary roles for the local market. Shameful knowledge management. No investment to build reputation and create local client stories which makes the pitches dry and rarely paired with lived experience. No real investment to develop/up-skill junior talents.

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
