      Used to be great - going downhill

      Pros

      - Ex-Detica people still around, so bright people to learn from. - Still have kit kats - Roof terrace - Interesting projects (though getting rarer) - Career Management programme really good. People have more consistency throughout their career path.

      Cons

      - Calibre of people going downhill - Pay is going down - used to get decent 6 monthly pay rises for junior staff! No bonuses for half the staff this year - Inexplicable strategy of 'growing' with no investment in office space, video conferencing. Good luck getting a meeting room in <2 weeks notice - Getting more process heavy / BAE like. Took months trying to convince legal/commercial to let us use AWS as an environment. WTF? - Not enough desks - seen people having to sit at break out tables in Bluefin! - No decent tech for developers - Internal functions / support staff seem to have more power than fee earners - how come they get permanent desks?

      Good place to start career, but going downhill

      Pros

      Training is good, and there is allowance to go on courses. There are opportunities to move around a range of clients and roles.

      Cons

      Not the best paying, increasing focus on products is making work more repetitive, caliber of employees seems to be dropping.
