Pros

Truly fun place to work. Amazing colleagues. Friendly and supportive culture (at least by construction industry standards!) Many awesome, high-profile projects. Learned so much in a short space of time.

Cons

Woeful salaries, especially for junior and support staff - some could earn double elsewhere. Seems to be a place to learn and have fun for a year or two before moving on. The LLP/partnership setup makes it feel like a law firm. Too many big egos at partner level. Quality systems and processes are outdated and not used properly by the business.
