Pros

Wallbrook is an ethical firm and does right by its employees. It got through covid without ANY redundancies. When temporary pay cuts were initiated, senior staff took them first and took a higher cut than junior staff – the cuts were all eventually repaid in full. It is also the only firm in its sector to be b-corp certified. The work itself is stimulating and rewarding to anyone interested in international affairs and research. Senior management really cares about their employees and there are lots of opportunities for growth! The firm also gives extremely generous annual bonuses.

Cons

Like most professional services firms at the moment, Wallbrook is working mostly remotely, which has its limitations. However there are plans to return to in person work as soon as it is safe to do so.

Pros

Quality of the work and clients is high. There aren't many egos - the continuity of staff means a lot of knowledge is shared and passed down to more junior staff and people who join from other companies in the industry.

Cons

The company was recently sold. It's not a con but it's starting to become more corporate with more bureaucracy. Decisions seem to take longer to make.

Pros

training on report writing and open source research

Cons

Long hours, low pay. Bonus is small/non existent for most people. Horrendous work life balance. Management have no regard for the wellbeing of employees and their private time. Do expect to work till late at night on short notice almost every other day and receive no recognition (or apology) if you join the BI team. Their high turnover rate says everything you need to know about this company.

Wallbrook Advisory Response

Our team is our greatest asset and investing in their wellbeing is our top priority, as our B Corp status attests to having recently been named a Best For The World by B Lab for our employee policies for the second year running: https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/find-a-b-corp/company/wallbrook. We invest a lot of time and resources into training our junior team members to help them on their journey to becoming excellent investigators. This can be time intensive in the first six months. It’s always unfortunate when any of our team decide that they would rather explore opportunities in another industry, but we understand this occurs in early stage careers. Our bonus scheme has always been generous and available to everyone after their first year with us.
