Pros

People are friendly and knowledgeable.

Cons

Big focus is on chartership, which is not available for all consulting roles. You are forced into doing chartership or accept that they will continue to use it as a stumbling block for promotion. This becomes a tick-boxing exercise for many people that don't fit squarely in engineering or sciences.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience working with knowledgeable and supportive colleagues. We understand that professional development pathways can feel more structured in some roles than others. While chartership is a key part of progression for many, we’re continuing to explore how we can better support diverse career journeys across all disciplines. Your perspective is valuable in helping us shape a more inclusive approach to development and recognition.
