Pros

Other employees are friendly Working hours are short (general 9-5) Fairly easy to talk to people of different senioritities No overtime/weekend work expected

Cons

-People very friendly but generally fairly unambitious compared to other firms, most of the good people leave within 2 years or so. -There is no process or "way of doing things" it's very much just winging it. You are given no intellectual property to help you so everything is made from scratch. They try to sell this as an opportunity but it isn't. -Line management awful, really unprofessional, based up favouritism and who sucks up the best rather than merit and exit interviews are run by your line management... which makes no sense! -Resourcing pretty much non-existent, if you are unhappy you will not be moved as that is not a priority to the business. -Pay sub-par no matter what your day-rate. All of these factors end up to poor delivery for clients. If you are going to work here make sure you see it for what it is, a stepping stone to your actual career.

It's all about margin at the cost of everything else!

Pros

Some good opportunities for progression and good to have on CV. Some really great local teams.

Cons

Management is poor. Focus of the business is purely on shareholder return. Their people are their assets and this is not recognised at all. Actions do NOT match words e.g. Becoming client-centric is not actually about caring for the clients but increasing the margin. On a slippery slope downwards.
