Great training ground and provides exposure to senior management with the industry

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to diverse client base across Asia Pacific, allows travel to cover the region and secondment. Great training ground across a vast array of services.

Cons

Very rigid remuneration policy and limited bonus potential until you hit Principal. Feel over-achievers are not sufficiently rewarded. Cost control over the past 4 years makes covering the region difficult, no business class until 9 hours.

Performance Review Farce

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company provides flexible work arrangements

Cons

The company has a rigid and comprehensive performance review program that is totally thrown in the garbage when it comes to my group executing it. The company program is designed to be fair and to reward quality work but my group refuses to discuss goals during performance review time and instead reads reviews from 20 or more co-workers who anonymously list their gripes about you. It is more like Jr High cliques where the popular, liked people get ahead. It is appalling and I am one of the popular, liked people!
