OK but very "corporate" and "follow the procedure" and risk averse

Health & safety advisor (managing consultant level)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Clear processes, systems, structures to a degree. Clear systems to protect employees that I was able to witness that worked, such as when someone was bullied by a coworker.

Cons

Far too bureaucratic. Also works under the venture capitalist style, so expect cyclical ups and downs. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Money is not as good as it could be.

Interesting projects but strict billing policy

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
