Pros
Work with very smart and driven people, personal development opportunities, great offices, well stocked kitchens, fantastic wellbeing program in Australia, opportunity to get involved in committees outside of your role, strong focus on diversity and inclusion, recognition programs in place, regular office events to feel connected, active social calendar and the best Christmas parties and conferences I have been to!
Cons
Incredibly fast paced and high performance culture (which is not for everyone and can make it feel stressful). Lots of travel involved for consulting staff which impacts work life balance and sustainability.
