Pros

Interesting work, decent pay, some really great colleague

Cons

Projects didn’t feel like their timelines were realistic or planned for success, which often led to a lot of stress and late working. It also felt like the culture had clear favourites that were rewarded and had greater recognition. Some partners were better to work with than others.

Pros

There is some access to bonuses and occasional learning opportunities. However, these benefits come at a significant cost to wellbeing, work-life balance, and mental health

Cons

Expectations are consistently unrealistic, and unprofessional behaviour comes from the very top. This behaviour is not only tolerated but mirrored by promoted partners, which reinforces a culture where poor leadership is normalised rather than challenged. There is also a noticeable sense of arrogance, as though employees should feel privileged simply to work there. In reality, that narrative feels completely disconnected from the company’s reputation in the market. The business would benefit from a serious culture reset, greater humility, and a leadership team willing to acknowledge that respect has to be earned, not assumed.
