Pros

Great people to work with and the office locations in London are convenient. There is some investment in training and certification. The firm is keen to adopt new technologies.

Cons

People are grossly underpaid and struggling to cope with workload. The firm often reaches out to external consultancies when the skills and knowledge can easily be found in-house but cannot be used as people are overworked. Many talented individuals have been leaving to work for other companies during the last year, taking their skills and knowledge with them.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
