Pros

-Generally low-pressure environment -Excellent work/life balance -Decent training opportunity, if not always ultimately relevant to your project -Decent starting salary for a Graduate

Cons

-Experience depends greatly on the project you are put on. -Some projects have a lot of red tape especially government projects requiring security clearance. Involves a lot of hassle and waiting around. -Can be difficult to get off the bench at the start. -Often star -Slow pay progression/Depends on how well you work the review process, which doesn't always represent your full achievements -Steep learning Curve/Not much onboarding help. Expected to find your feet by yourself. -Potential to have very long commutes (up to 90 minutes each way) for projects just outside London -Some office environments are quite glum or have open layout which is not conducive to focussed work

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
