Pros

GHD gives its employees the opportunity to work on exciting projects. It offers an excellent Graduate Program and networking opportunities.

Cons

Management doesn't provide training and support and is mainly outcome oriented. The company culture lacks honesty and integrity and in my opinion management encourages this certain culture.

Too much focus on utilisation and not on building people

Pros

A lot of good benefits are given to employees. Co-workers are all professional. The office environment is also professional.

Cons

Uncompetitive salary rates. Recognition and basis for salary adjustment is mostly based on utilisation. As a consulting company the management focuses on the amount of work that the employee can charge to jobs that are billable to client. Even junior employees are forced to look for chargeable jobs when no jobs were given to them by their management. The employees are mostly accountable for their own utilisation. If you can't find a job to work on, you get low utilisation, you won't get recognised as an asset to the company. High utilisation simply means good performance regardless of the capabilities and skills you have. Too much work even for entry level positions. Some work are not even chargeable jobs, hence cannot generate utilisation. Low work-life balance because of too much work.
