Pros

Flexible working hours and accommodating to employees that are parents (able to do the school run etc). Range of projects. Nice colleagues.

Cons

As its a consultancy, there is pressure to do jobs as quickly as possible to stay within a jobs budget, but also to be over 95% 'chargeable' - causing stress for all levels of seniority. Therefore a lot of training and working towards professional accreditation expected to be done in your own time. Also discrepancies in pay.
