Okay company (good if you're an extrovert)

Pros

- very social company (winter and summer balls, sports day, ECP socials, etc.), but depends on your fancy, felt like too many for me sometimes. - Bonuses. - Nice offices with coffee machines.

Cons

- Low salary, but that's just consultancy as a whole. - Poor management of project budgets. - Extremely difficult to get unbillable hours (e.g. expect to join team meetings and do admin tasks etc whilst either billing to a project or making it up in your own time). - London office can feel ‘cold’, most people just stick to their social bubbles. - Feels like nepotism in hiring of graduates. Most are from private school backgrounds and look down their nose at others, and have little work ethic.

Some great employees and co-workers

All about the mighty dollar and time sheets. Don't value their employees.

Pros

- Good clean office - Helpful staff - Plenty of workshops and seminars - Support in obtaining new skills

Cons

- People in higher management are disconnected and unprofessional at times. - Heavy emphasis on grading/level and seniority. - Mislead during the hiring process that you will get staff share (stock) in the company (only reserved for upper management). - Pay is below average compared to their competitors - Progression is extremely poor, virtually non-existence unless you are "cushy" with higher management. - The company is not accommodating, thus non-existence work-life balance.
