Good Tier 2 Consultancy

Pros

Excellent training opportunities. If there is any external training that directly benefits your role - they will reimburse the cost including books and exams. Good list of clients. Good account managers overall. Super fun Christmas parties. Monthly drinks are awesome if you're into that sort of thing.

Cons

Some account managers stretch the truth about consultant capability, so you may find yourself in over your head . Some lead consultants are super protective of their clients so you may end up on the wrong end of a discussion. Some of the rules relating to being on the bench are just plain weird so you need to be aware of the rules.

Pros

Two key areas - People- centric culture - Consultant support network, amazing social club which organises real cool stuff, corporate games participation, very supportive training program and oh yes! certification bonus. You are invited to the big Christmas parties with your partner. ** Great work portfolio with some of the best Australian and global companies. Our assignments range from 6 months to 2+ years or more.

Cons

Interview process is a 3 step process. Salary review cycle in once a year ( not really keeping up with inflation) Part time consulting is missing.

Pros

On-site support given to consultants is great and you get to work with different sets of people from time to time. Great Christmas party and social club events. BD's provide good insights into current opportunities.

Cons

Bench time can be boring but you need to utilize your time well.
