Pros

Good flex benefits scheme and highly ethical company. Variety of accounts to work on Job for life if you just want to plod along, especially if you TUPE'd in on a decent wage.

Cons

Grossly underpaid for the work you do. Many colleagues leave, some return to get the promotions and pay-rises they couldn't achieve whilst at Capgemini. If you're good at your job you'll get a tough account, you'll fix it and get moved onto the next tough account. Difficult to get a promotion if on an account less than a year. Seen as lacking ambition if on an account more than 18 months. You can be a higher grade than your own review manager. Too much dead-wood inherited from TUPE deals - some on decent salaries based on what they were on before. You won't get more than the minimum out of them. They're after a redundancy / easy life.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
