Pros

Exposure to different industries and very quick exposure to executives at clients Recognition of those who work hard and spend the time to learn the business Lots of opportunities to have a mentor and to be a mentor Many free lunches/dinners

Cons

Raises are based entirely on exam progress. No raises or bonuses will be given for promotions. Work/life balance is non-existent. Working hours are dependent entirely on which clients you are randomly assigned to -- some people will have very stead workflow, others will be working at all hours of the night, weekends and holidays. If you are assigned to more demanding clients, you may be given little to no warning of when your personal plans will be overtaken by a project. Not willing to allow for rotation of business groups dependent on interest of the employee

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
