Pros

- Real opportunity to learn from procurement category experts who genuinely care and want to help you - Flat hierarchy makes it really easy to collaborate, and senior leadership are friendly and accessible - Friendliest people ever, everyone is willing to help and open to listening to your ideas - Great social side of work with lots of activities organised and opportunity to celebrate successes - Emphasis on client work of course, but also on your personal development and how you can expand knowledge away from client projects

Cons

There are none I have experienced

Pros

Nice people Excellent culture of helping one another Good mutual respect from other employees Good place to start your career - but don't stay too long.

Cons

Zero respect from higher management towards employees. No proper social events or training given, despide promises during interview process. High turnover rate for experienced people who know they can do better elsewhere. Salaries are woeful compared to similar organisations. No proper distinction on what qualifies one person as a senior consultant vs another as a principal or regular consultant. Expected to be in meetings from 08:30 until tea time if you're on a project. Lots of busy work and excel sheets, but tasks are very dull and uninspiring. The people who have worked there too long are like cult members (Proximites?). They have tunnell vision about how to approach tasks and are difficult to work with if you're not indoctrinated into their mindset. Ex CEOs of Proxima are given contracts to train staff in the most irrelevant and useless topics that you are expected to pretend to like.

Pros

- There are some good people that work there. - Close-knit team that has each others back.

Cons

- No direction or follow- through. - Quick to place and assign blame. - Outdated analytics technologies and practices. - Too much bureaucracy to drive any substantive change or progress. - Pressure and stress are not worth pay and time. There are better data roles out there. - Obsessed with feedback that ultimately leads to no change. - Quick to manage people out if they are not a good 'fit'.
