Pros
- Great and friendly team, who are willing to help - Work-life balance is good
Cons
In essence, company turmoil due to poor financial performance for the past several years (hence being recently bought out by a private equity firm to avoid bankruptcy) has made Cartesian an unattractive proposition: - Progression much easier if you're one of the senior management's favourites, with the office acutely aware who is a favourite, leading to an overall reduction in company morale - Salary pales in comparison to similar jobs in other consultancies - Selling low-value work / undercharging for work to win business; the end result being uninteresting projects are done or delivering (good work) on projects that should be paying out more - No clue about strategic direction - at the very least, most projects the Strategy team do aren't truly strategic in nature - Training opportunities are very limited
