Pros

•Great team camaraderie •Some decent helpful consultants and team members •Meritocratic culture

Cons

•Playground mentality driven by senior management •No trust •No working from home allowed, no flexibility given •Expected to drive everywhere for client meetings even if its a 5 hour journey one way. •Sometimes on road from 4am and not home until 8pm - no time given back by management, expected to be in office on time the next day. •Extremely anal about time keeping and punctuality, can't be late or you'll get "the chat" •Sub standard commission compared to the amount of work you have to put in •Established business sales developers at an advantage due to length of time they've been there whereas new external hires expected to fend for themselves and book meetings fast. •Unrealistic aggressive targets and too many KPIs •Extremely cut throat business •Lots of people get sacked very quickly if they don't "cut it" •Induction training and support for new starts is pretty dire •Don't really give you a chance to make your mark •Blatant favourtism by senior management •Senior management seem to only care about making money •Employees welfare is secondary

Pros

Pay, work is interesting, good culture

Cons

Senior management is intense about initiatives that are peripheral to success, which diminishes morale. Sense that they are out of ideas to improve the business meaningfully, or never really had any to begin with.
