Pros

They were very good during lock down . Try to promote a good culture by having regular company days Offer roles to graduates. Some very good consultants who work hard

Cons

3 days sick pay per year. Anything else is at the company’s discretion, Yet the company continually portray themselves as promoting good health ! If your face fits you’ll get on in the company - if it doesn’t you’ll stagnate. You don’t have to be good at your job to move forward just be a part of the clique. Some very poor project managers who only care about ticking boxes and achieving milestones- there is little concern about giving customers value, Very poor projects of recent- end up working to unreasonable deadlines often for free of charge with no chance of earning any bonus.

As you are a current employee we would like to explore the remainder of your comments in more detail and urge you to talk to either your line manager or a member of the local People Team.
