Pros

-Lovely office in great location. -Great people, friendly culture -Office drinks and snacks -Good place to get a bit of experience

Cons

-Lots of bench time for some consultants unless they're lucky enough to get locked into a long term project, which ends up feeling like you work FT elsewhere. I spent 1.5yr on one client in a BAU role. -Very undisciplined which people take advantage of (not turning up to office despite not having WFH contracts, people do nothing while on bench etc. -Impossible to progress. Forever chasing promotions that the company says they can afford, then they can't, and repeat. -Terrible comms from C-suite and senior management. -Managers never seem to know what's going on as everything is controlled by S Management in USA. -The American comms don't always translate well to UK, very in your face and sometimes disingenuous which I don't think is received well here

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
