Pros

Great people, they invested in me from the start by sending me to live in the Netherlands for 8 weeks to learn about the company and personally develop (fully expensed). They consistently invest in training for employees and help pass exams which looks great for your CV and great for HSO also. Great way to travel the country and meet a variety of personalities in different companies/industries. Also, when not on site at the customer, you can work from home.

Cons

Potentially can be working at home for 4 days a week on occasion. But this is rare and on average I have probably worked away 2-3 days a week since joining.

Pros

- Competitive salary and benefits - Job security - Gain sought after consultancy/software skills through training and project work - Job satisfaction; challenging work through which you can make a real positive change to client businesses - Relatively flat management structure - Regular company-wide meetings - Friendly/welcoming and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Work/life balance; Can be a lot of travelling and working away. Typical week would normally be Mon + Fri working from home, then Tues - Thurs working on customer site. This can vary, with some (rare) occasions where you're needed on site Mon-Fri and some weeks where you may be at home all week. For me, the travelling and staying away isn't much of an issue itself, however it has meant that I no longer have the time for my mid-week sports club. Those with young families may also find this aspect difficult. - No influence over bonus; The bonus scheme itself can be very generous, however it is not performance based. Bonus payments are based on "utilisation" i.e. how many days a consultant has been charged out to a customer for that quarter. This is something the consultant themselves has no control over.
