      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big company, lots of job security, lots of other people around that you can talk to and learn from.

      Cons

      Such a high turnover problem. It's hard to find graduates that stay over the two year mark, and as a result, you're constantly having knowledge transfer sessions. This means that rather than going forward at full pace, you're constantly hindered by having to get someone else up to speed, making all the mistakes that were already ironed out by the last person who tried something.

      A good start for a grad

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are generally highly intelligent and great to work with There is a wide range (ish) of work available The kit kats were a perk, although only any good if you're not sold out on client site.

      Cons

      Like almost any consultancy you could end up getting stuck on a project for a long time. Salary increases were minimal as we were the bonuses. They will punish you for not "contributing" back to the firm regardless of performance and sales. I lost out to others who remained in the base office and performed worse than me when it came to review time as I was sold off site.
