Pros

- Nice people - Work can be very interesting with opportunities to learn about new industries - Salary is reasonable, but ACA qualification option is very valuable - Company growth is positive and there is little concern over job security

Cons

- Growth increases the workload but the the headcount can't keep up leading to intense pressure and stress - Senior management take mental health and well being seriously but middle management just prioritise completion of work. - Hard work is recognised but typically results in higher expectations and more stress

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
