Pros

Genuinely great people and intellectually curious culture. Flexible hybrid schedule. Competitive PTO policy. British company, so great healthcare policy for US employees, including reimbursing out-of-pocket costs.

Cons

Notoriously low pay, with no yearly cost-of-living adjustments or pay increases. Resources are stretched thin, and team members are burned out, as everyone ultimately ends up working longer hours for effectively less pay every year. Senior leadership loves to punt responsibility down the ladder as to why the company is not more profitable, despite the lived reality of company norms being to increase workload without increased compensation. More people left the consulting department in my last year than in my first three years combined. Layoffs were also increasingly common and substantial as leadership grew more keen on outsourcing with no real strategy to increase profitability.
