Pros

The work can be interesting but with only a couple of consultant in the office it is always impossible to meet delivery targets. Other same level consultants are friendly, hard-working, but also aware of the many problem this company have. Good for stepping-stone into IT security career and similar salary, but that is all.

Cons

Most consultant only stay in this office for less than one year for same reasons which is poor management and no work-life balance. The place is crazy and expectations for working hours are very long (often 9AM to 8PM) and much weekend work. Only one manager for the HK office but only good for management and sales. Leadership skill is non-existent. Often receive calls and text messages to my personal mobile phone during weekend (when not supposed to be working) Lots of consultant leave and setup own business and then contract work to themselves. I find it amazing that this can be fine with global management. No training or chance to self-improve whatsoever. Often consultant who leave will continue to attend pre-sale meeting and calls to make it appear to clients that the local delivery team is big and strong foundation.

Pros

None, Do not apply for this company

Cons

Bench Policy for consulting is a slap in the face. Within 2 months it has been changed twice, now you have 2 weeks to find new work for yourself and fulfillment gives you no help whatsoever. The turnover is so high that it is impossible to establish a network within the company, meaning you will be out on the street with barely any severance by the time you have completed onboarding.
