Pros

the company has grown quickly since i joined, which has created a lot of opportunities for me to do new things. There's a real sense of team working, colleagues who care about and support each other. people are committed to company values like being open, respectful to each other - and also try really hard to do a great job for clients. Clients are amazing for a company of its size.

Cons

it's still a small company so it can feel like there's constant change. Lots of systems and processes are being put in place but this is a work in progress.

Pros

I got exposure to different and interesting clients and jobs. Most of the team were wonderful people, friendly and helpful. For people who want to excel quickly, this can be a good place to move up the ranks fast - but at a cost.

Cons

Career opportunities: yes, to an extend. I've seen other people move up fast but in the end not be allowed to actually make decisions. It's a lot about internal politics and your talent manager. I think the best path is to go from entry level to mid-senior and then move elsewhere, where career plans are actually implemented and there's a willingness from the leadership team to support you in your career. Compensation: good, it's the biggest reason people stay. Culture & values: Some of the team truly live by values like inclusion and care for one another. At the end of the day though the leadership makes decisions based on money. I've witnessed this over the past 3 years with great people being pushed out of the business. Diversity & Inclusion: Again, some people practice this, but it's mostly a wish. Dare I say it's a marketing tactic? Work/life balance: In every job there are ups and downs but my impression and experience was that even though a work-life-balance is praised on paper, in practice, the expectation is "consultancy means overtime". Unfortunately the significant part of the leadership is still clinging on to an old-school mindset, forgetting that the new generation is not wanting to follow in their footsteps.

Pros

The salary is competitive and the new London office is luxurious.

Cons

Management masterfully curate their communications to put themselves in a good light – but they are completely out of touch with the reality of the work. The expectation is also that you will give up your work-life balance and accept working overtime with no compensation. They also overpromise delivery with their clients which then forces employees to rush through work and stretch skillsets, which in term means the quality of the production is generally not great.
