Pros

Top employer of 2018

Cons

- Bad company culture: promoting people who can talk rather than those who do good work - Low salary - Very few good managers who are competent and respect subordinates - No clear upward feedback possibility - Forcing everyone to do "community" activities for the firm in order to be considered for promotion - Uninteresting projects - Limited chance to switch projects - Project durations are too long

Thank you for your feedback, however we are sorry that you feel this way. With regards to your comments, upward feedback is requested as part of the performance management process and this forms part of the assessment for our managers. Also, community activities are optional and only account for a small part of an individual’s overall assessment, with the main focus being on their performance in their day-to-day role. We would encourage you to discuss your concerns, as well as any suggestions for improvements, with your HR contact or our Global HR Director, David Heffernan.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
