You're right, it is a fast paced industry where hours can vary and one that's continually evolving. It's certainly not 9 to 5:) There is a lot of variety and on-the-job learning and enrichment which is encouraged. We're sorry to hear the journey couldn't be continued with you - but thank you for your comments as we're always looking to improve. If you're up to it, we'd be keen to learn more on the specifics of your experience. Please email hr@cliftons.com and we can chat further.
Some good people on the ground, good level of access to middle management most of the time, great clients and can meet lots of people depending on which area you work.
Cons
No real strategy, lots of bouncing between directions and goals based apparently on the whims or financial needs of the owner. Board and senior management group is a boys club many of which have "returned" after trying their luck unsuccessfully elsewhere.
Lack of funds for improvements like IT or training.
