Pros

• Smart colleagues and opportunities to work on interesting projects. • Flexible work arrangements depending on the team. • Exposure to a broad range of clients and sectors.

Cons

• A leadership culture that does not genuinely value people. • During a conversation with a partner, I was asked why another company would offer me a higher salary — a question that made it clear my capabilities were not recognised internally. • Limited career progression unless you actively push for it. • Salary growth is slow compared to market standards. • Communication from senior leadership can feel dismissive and disconnected from staff realities.

Pros

Interesting projects, flexible work hours, ability to pivot to new disciplines and teams

Cons

Employees are getting squeezed by increasingly difficult metrics, with less compensation, less work won because rates are now set so high. Less and less investment in employees through benefits and upskilling. Managers are spread so thin they can’t give time to their team.
