Pros

-Pays a bit better than competitors (big 4), it is more noticeable after a few years -Has a very good relationship with 2 major financial institutions (often allowing projects sold with an adequate amount of people, early access to some technologies and market knowledge, etc). -Global partnership: the same partner has projects in multiple countries and it is not difficult to travel. -Management has very smart people with good connections in large Spanish companies. -Promotes long-term employment, retaining more employees (proportionally) than competitors.

Cons

-Lack of investment in non-Spanish talent, to expand outside Spain it is fundamental to hire local experienced consultants (not just juniors), it has not done this yet. -Company is too focused in Spain, consultants based in other countries have worse pay (vs. local market) than in Spain, worse benefits and training, poor access to management and less opportunities. -Lack of flexibility in sales push to non-Spanish prospective clients. -Raises/bonus are too similar between top and bottom performers: there should be more differentiation: successful consulting requires promoting fast the best people and firing the worst -The banking sector is 80% of the business

Pros

Coworkers are young and friendly. Lots of paid time off (22 days) and supervisors are reasonable about letting you come late/leave early for appointments. You don't get in trouble for coming in late.

Cons

Unnecessarily long hours. Incredibly mundane work (every project boils down to copying and pasting in Excel or Powerpoint). This company is a complete waste of time. Nothing finance or statistics related, as advertised. Everyone is miserable.

Pros

+ Good starting point into career (basic skill coverage of software, banking and general skills) + Exposure to banking industry + Atmosphere among junior employees + Personal exposure to projects was adequate to my liking (based on individual experience)

Cons

- Salary and benefits too low for the expectations set (not competitive enough) - Senior management improvement required to manage junior employees - Long hours required (work/life balance could be better) - Communication channels require improvement (within the company structure towards an employee) - Organisation of corporate activities (very limited compared to other consultancies in the industry) - Travelling opportunities are limited for London based consultants
