Pros
Some really nice, intelligent, kind people - most of which don't stick around very long because they are chronically overworked and undervalued
Cons
Where to begin? There is no regard for staff wellbeing in any way shape or form. Staff are crammed into a tiny office that isn't fit-for-purpose or accessible. There aren't enough monitors or desks for even a quarter of the London office. Then they mandate that everyone comes in on Fridays for Insight days where everyone crams into the office and has to essentially perch on top of a cupboard to take client calls. If people don't subject themselves to this they are criticised for not being "visible". The response to high-levels of stress and poor staff wellbeing that came out of staff surveys was to introduce an appalling series of 'personal resilience' training sessions. (You honestly can't make it up. The company they use to do these also has a 1.7 star glassdoor rating and reportedly also has a toxic culture. Glad we're learning from the best!) That doesn't even scratch the surface. Projects are always incorrectly scoped and resourced because of a lack of consulting capability and experience in leadership. The burden always falls to more junior members of staff, particularly SCs, to pick up the slack and work 70+ hour weeks to deliver. Leadership seem more concerned with LinkedIn posts and attending conferences than solving the very real problems within the organisation that create awful working conditions for their own staff. If you're thinking about working here, don't.
