Pros

- Some good opportunities to progress and travel with the company if you can grasp them - Some interesting projects - Good training opportunities

Cons

- Don't feel secure, feel like I could be made redundant any minute - Slow to react to economic pressures - Complex management structure; including too many seniors and not enough juniors - High fee rates often make SKM uncompetitive - Good values, but a feeling that they're ignored when required - Currently a toxic atmosphere following redundancies and lots of pressure to perform, with different messages coming from different parts of management depending on their person KPIs
