Pros

1) Flexible work arrange provided you get into mid-management's good books. 2) Mid-management close their eyes on you as long as you are working on the one and only anchor client. 3) Strong promoter of management is always right and 'Yes' culture. Come join us if you are able to follow instructions blindly and do not question instructions from middle management.

Cons

1) Top and middle heavy - Too many directors and managers in Singapore office that does nothing. 10% of the entire office is carrying 90% of the jobs. 2) Managers are typical masters of delegation and the walking embodiment of No Actions, Talk Only (NATO). 3) Managers are Directors takes ownership of the projects until it goes south and it will always be the consultants' fault. 4) Promotes a bootlicking culture. Praise the directors and your career will shoot higher than bitcoin.

Pros

If you’re someone with no skill set other than saying “yes” and being a people person, this place is for you. You can rise to a managerial position without any hindrance—provided you’re lucky enough to end up with the company’s anchor client.

Cons

A very biased culture that only rewards those in the main job functions. The organization is top-heavy, with minimal IA experience at the working level. In particular, the Associate Directors in the company have little to no knowledge and limited exposure to effectively conduct properly scoped work.
