Pros

If you get a good line manager, it is OK and there are some decent, kind and competent colleagues and interesting projects. Current EMEI manager seems to be authentic.

Cons

Atmosphere can be a bit soulless. Barrage of management speak from above. Constant pressure to meet budgetary targets. Arm-twisting to travel in own time etc to cut costs on lump sum jobs. Management turns on Ts&Cs during assigments. But no credit for delivering within budget. Seems to be run by accountants in ivory towers..... Expenses system is way too cumbersome.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
