Partners refuse to pay bonus, despite employees (plural) meeting quantitative targets
Pros
It pays the bills Work life balance is pretty decent if you manage it yourself They spend enough time, money and effort on buying awards like the Financial Times con, that outside observers might not cotton on to what sort of institution it is, so it might not be a complete curse having worked here
Cons
Per the title - The Partners are not paying people the bonus, per the published bonus format, despite team exceeding quantitative targets. This is nothing short of greed by the Partners, who quantitatively and morally, have not earned it themselves Dishonest dealings with clients, resulting in employees quitting on moral grounds Senior leadership does not have the competence or behaviours to operate a management consultancy firm, so to maintain their place at the table, slate those beneath them to attempt to salvage some credibility. Managing Partner seems content to surround himself with mediocrity and appalling behaviours, on the basis that they do not challenge for leadership Centralised, obscured decision making followed by a void in communication Mind-blowing levels of hypocrisy, holding others accountable to a standard they have never once demonstrated themselves. Literally outright refusing to create a feedback system for consulting staff to Partners Astonishing attitude towards development and careers management. The promotion rate is glacial
