Pros

Can attract strong candidates and give you good exposure to a couple of top firms. Firm has tried a couple of things to improve and adapt. The firm has a strong brand in Spain and can command high fees for services but this all stays at the top.

Cons

Senior management lack integrity and honesty required for a professional firm and will regularly lie to its employees. Pay is uncompetitive for the industry leading to a lack of motivation and a high turnover of staff. Management do not feel the need to tackle this issue as they know there will be new graduates keen to step in to fill the gaps that are all too common. Spanish expat employees will receive benefits and flats paid for in London which will often take their total package to 3/4x from that of a local. They are sent to London office quite regularly and are given better management and project overview responsibilities ahead of majority of locals at same level; regardless of experience and background. Of the 32 senior partners in the firm 91% are Spanish and the remainder are from Spanish speaking countries. Firm progression to the top as a non-Spanish individual is therefore very limited and unlikely. Most projects are operational and back office, where the firm acts more as an outsourcing company rather than a true consulting firm. However there are a few good projects from time to time that are strategic if you are lucky but don't expect these to be a regular occurrence.
