Pros
- Culture: Great people, very supportive environment, a lot of social events, heavy drinking culture but also try to be inclusive and have diverse social events. - Work: for a starter in consultancy / procurement, have the opportunity to grow definitely. Haven't got the feeling of reaching the ceiling to learn after joining for 1 year. Most of the time you don't need to work extra hours but sometimes it does get stressed and unbalanced workload during the workdays. Hybrid mode of working, how fantastic! Sponsored you to do the CIPS / other exams after probation (salary review attached) Life work balance fairly good, brely any politics, you can really enjoy working and after work forget about it and have fun with your friends. - Career development: most people progressing within procurement space (consulting / in-house procurement). Internally the promotion is quite standard, around 15 - 18 months from analyst to consultant, annual salary review.
Cons
- If you don't drink, it might still make it harder to build connection, but this is more of a fact of this industry rather than Proxima alone. - The salary might be less satisfying between promotion from consultant to senior consultant, but it is case by case. - Sometimes you can be put into a project for a very long time, it could mean less industry exposure.
