      Great learning platform with collaborative teams

      Principal consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Supportive colleagues and a collaborative environment; many employees mention good camaraderie and respectful teams. Flexible working and decent work-life balance, depending on the team and project load. Employee-owned culture and a general emphasis on ethics, quality, and long-term thinking.

      Cons

      Communication from leadership can sometimes feel limited or top-down, which creates uncertainty around decisions and future opportunities. Work allocation and internal networking can be uneven, with some teams feeling siloed and opportunities not always easy to access. Compensation and bonuses may feel less competitive relative to workload or performance expectations.

      Mixed benefits with management transparency issues

      Senior building services engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slight flexibility depends on the department and team structure. Pay considered better compared to other firm.

      Cons

      Lack of management transparency, technical support, performance review. Departments are not well structured. Overall package not attractive, but considered good if compared with other consultancy firm.
