Pros
I met some truly fantastic people during my time (a lot of these people have seen sense and departed). Hosts very well organised and enterprising events around the world- this brings some good travel opportunities Given big responsibility early (sometimes too big) and a chance to work with blue-chip clients Great office location
Cons
The environment WAS vibrant, supportive and generally one of the best places to work. However, in early 2018, senior management decided to kill off the existing culture and replace it with a toxic, corporate minefield- ruthlessly removing close to 10% of the team in the process. Authoritarian leadership and micromanagement became the norm with a need to justify almost hourly productivity to avoid a severe reprimand (often in front of the team). Ironic for a company that preaches about "the importance of being agile/empowering" to its clients. Low morale and continuing high staff turnover is of little concern to senior management whose only focus is balancing the books to ensure a successful acquisition. Also very little to no procurement training is provided to staff, which is worrying considering most staff are graduates who had to google the meaning of the word "procurement" before their interviews.
