Pros

Pretty useful internal training opportunities Some beautiful, smart colleagues

Cons

They stopped my salary after a month into employment. The reason? Covid. I asked them how long for? The answer was: until they find me a project. This put a lot of stress on me and my family. Some of their internal stakeholders I dealt with on their UBS account demonstrated low emotional intelligence and unfair behaviours—avoid that account if you could. Another one is HSBC. I received all the positive feedback during my probation period. At the end of it, they decided to extend it with completely new feedback that was never given to me before. I left the company after seven months of the worst employment experience in my twenty years of career.

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.
