Pros

Interesting client base and fascinating problem domains to work in, fantastic quality of colleagues, salaries above average compared to other consultancies, given how much they expect over and above a normal working week

Cons

Unstructured learning and development, career development and communities of interest not managed at the company level, therefore the quality of your experience depends on the individual commitment of those around you. Company has grown, and continues to grow but hasn't adequately managed to implement processes required for its size.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your employee review. To address your concerns around Onboarding new employees - You may or may not be aware, but we have created a new team dedicated to looking after candidates from the point of verbal offer to their first day in the office and up to 100 days in situ. They are engaging with the candidate and their new manager to make sure that everything is in place for a much smoother start to their role. We have also created a bespoke portal for new joiners to communicate with one another prior to joining, so that they already have a network on day one.
