Pros

There are some incredible people among ICS and management, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The client projects can be interesting with varied tools. In general it isn’t currently required to work much more than 40 hours a week to get the work done.

Cons

Since BDC was acquired, many of the benefits have been stripped away whilst being told we should be grateful we haven’t lost more. The culture has entirely shifted and it has become an old fashioned IT company, rather than the vibrant, forward thinking data consultancy it was. Leadership no longer treat us as intelligent people who can understand when we are being lied to. A lot of good people have left as a result and the company is barely recognisable anymore.

Pros

Some of the best data professionals I’ve ever worked with. The standard of work here is great, and there is so much to learn from the people here. Work life balance is respected, though there are definitely some busy periods. A lot of upper management have families and are very understanding of being flexible with one’s schedule Interesting clients who trust us a great deal Company values are evident in the way they treat their employees

Cons

Some projects can be improperly staffed, which makes the manager or high performing ICs shoulder the burden of figuring out a solution It sometimes feels like a startup, which can be a pro (flexible, quick to adapt), but also a con (can be asked to do much more than your job description). Though you’re only expected to log 40 hours a week, with breaks and refractory period between meetings it can easily feel like a 50hour work week on the regular.
