Pros

Large network of colleagues with a decent bit of experience in their subdomains

Cons

Pay is well below market rate Working hours are bad No path towards promotion Treated like second class citizen while working for clients Raises don’t track with inflation, let alone tracking your increased value as an employee each year. They will use shady tactics to nickle and dime you when it comes to pay. You have no career future here. Get out asap

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
