Finalta Employee Reviews about "people"

Pros

Work life balance is taken care of. Nice first job, with good exposure to clients and opportunity to learn lots of reusable skills like excel, ppt and SQL / Alteryx / Tableau. If you join the right team at the right time, career progression can be fast. Group of extremely nice, caring and helpful people. Everyone is really smart so you might feel stupid right after joining. Base salary is good compared to other consultancies. McK network and repo is really valuable.

Cons

Extremely volatile evaluation system might hamper development. Not necessarily meritocratic career progression. Leadership is not really inspiring. Too many people stick around longer than they should due to poor exit opps to the damage of new, more motivated employees. Can become extremely boring and repetitive if you can’t have exposure to multiple projects.

Pros

- possibility to advance fast - generally modest travel required - relatively small team thus not just a small part in a big clock - now part of McK thus prestige of company - thorough training in calculation programs

Cons

- for the amount to work substantially underpaid - Extremely rigid culture (e.g. if you would arrive a few minutes late to work you would get a warning. BUT people have life outside especially when working long hours. Allow reasonable flex time) no feeling of a team - bad work life balance - VERY bad benefits - No mistake culture, any mistakes seems to be punished. No desire to innovate or take risks - arms length relationship with management (transactional, you perform then you get rewarded financially, yet not other form of recognition) - The employees is held to thankful to be able to start working at the company. No feeling of that employee has outside market valeu - Purpose of work, engagement of employees, thinking outside of the box not valued to the slightest

Pros

Great company and friendly people Great work life balance

Cons

Pay could have been better

Pros

Being part of McKinsey, friendly people

Cons

Progression takes a long time, can be very political and one single path available. The job can become very repetitive and provide limited platform for self development

Pros

client focus great young people

Cons

long hours poor management limited learning opportunities

Pros

Friendly people/great culture Good staff benefits Great office location Flexible working Inclusive

Cons

Admin salaries are low compared to market. Unclear promotion/ development structure for admin staff Compensation and job satisfaction is focused on the benchmarking staff

Pros

-Progression opportunities are ripe, with 2 reviews per year with the opportunity to be promoted. - People are nice enough

Cons

- Entry salary is significantly lower than the market - Long hours truly mean that you work like an animal, for very little money

Pros

+ Good people; little ego or politics compared to most consulting firms + Very social, friendly culture. Frequent (unofficial) work drinks + High performers can progress quite quickly (entry-level to team leader within ~3yrs) + Personal trainingPersonal trainingPersonal training budget (although few people use this given long working hours tend to prevent people from having the time) + The business is exploring new markets and projects, which opens new opportunities for employees

Cons

- Work-life balance can be atrocious at times, particularly at analyst level, and senior management appears to view this as an acceptable situation - Fairly low salaries for the market, especially at analyst level, although bear in mind it can grow quite fast if you do well - The pace of work oscillates wildly between dull, repetitive drudgery and overly stressful crunch periods (where the work can be interesting, but the workload too intense); it's hard to find the right balance between being challenged/motivated and not being overworked - Opportunity to learn transferable technical skills on the job is very limited, unless you have some reason to want to learn Alteryx - The feedback process doesn't really work very well; most feedback is channeled through your line manager rather than coming from each colleague directly, which can mean things get lost in translation or completely forgotten about until your performance review. They do an anonymous 360 feedback review 2x per year which, as nice as it sounds, just removes people's incentive to get good at giving fair, constructive feedback the rest of the year, given they can say whatever they want (whether helpful or not) via an anonymous survey.

Pros

- Company cares about the employees - Very nice colleagues (no gossip or prejudiced/judgemental people) - Flexible working hours (I read a comment below where is written that you get a warning when you're 10 minutes late, I don't think that is true at all. I never heard of anyone that got a comment) - No 'go up or go out' principle (meaning you can take as much time as you need to get promoted, they will promote you whenever you are ready) - a lot of responsibilities

Cons

- salary is poor. All employees complain about the salaries, many look out for other jobs because of this, but the management still does not want to increase the salary - long working hours at times (this makes the salary even poorer!!!)
