Pros
Flexible working environment with the option to work hybrid and manage your own time and desk — there’s a high level of trust. Social culture is great: regular events like scavenger hunts, afternoon tea in the office, summer BBQs, charity fundraisers, Christmas parties, and quarterly kick-offs. There are also smaller team socials which help build close-knit teams. Clear performance processes in place to support progression, and the L&D programme genuinely stands out from what I’ve seen at other agencies. Regular skills reviews help you identify and close any gaps. Strong and supportive senior leadership team — approachable and focused on individual development. Management is actively working to improve cross-office collaboration. There’s a slight culture difference between the Nottingham and Leicester offices, but the introduction of a Shadow Board is a great step forward. It’s giving consultants more visibility and a say in decisions, even if they’re not in management.
Cons
Not a con but promotion structure and billing targets should be consistently monitored and reviewed to ensure we retain good people and stay in line with the market.
