Pros

- free snacks and drinks - good work/life balance - good social scene - good compensation - high value put on employee wellbeing

Cons

- no one has heard of them in the UK - bad business decisions recently (i.e. overhiring/ineffective sales and marketing teams) - sudden freeze on promotions after people already prepared their case and already working at next level - routinely hire in people at level below they should be with empty promises of quick promotion - bonus dependent on utilisation even for junior members who don't have any control over being on bench or not and this leads them to not take annual leave

Hello, thank you for taking time to provide your feedback. I’m glad you experienced our culture of creating a great place to work, and I’m saddened that we got some things wrong from your perspective. We certainly do have more to do in growing our brand in the UK and we’re also constantly trying to balance periods of high demand for our services with the uncertain economy over this past 6 months. Decisions we have made with regards to pausing mid-year promotions are to look after our business, so we can look after everyone in the business. I’m excited about the positive momentum now showing through in the marketplace and the opportunities this will present for career growth in line with business performance. I’m sorry if there were decisions we made in this period that you feel impacted you personally.

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
