PA Consulting – “Not a good place to work unless your face fits”

Pros

Lots of interesting public sector work, a few good people, entrepreneurial but unstructured

Cons

Bonus system opaque and overstated (why is it necessary to deduct employers NI ?), only 23 days annual leave compared to 25 â?? 30 elsewhere, limited adherence to Work / Life balance, the partners focus on farming easy public sector jobs rather than focussing on selling into large global corporations, most of the partners are stale - no way these guys would survive at Deloitte

Advice to Senior Management

Either come clean as a public sector consultancy, or sell out to a bigger organisation that will allow us to grow
