Pros
Good frequent communications from the business development team on how Analyst-led client interactions has lead to them earn six figues on someone elses hard work. Good for HR to look out for our health and safety, someone accidentally ordered a hot water dispenser but luckily this was removed before someone died/had a serious accident. Good suggestion by one of the reviews below to each out for lunch every day. Paying the typical £8 for lunch in the area is not cheap on analyst salaries but analyst should prioritise networking over social life. GD recognises that in other companies the paying of bonus in highly politicised and controversial, so good decision on punishing everyone equally. Unlike other companies, GD is not elitist in anyway. In fact they have shown they are more progressive by having an "inverted pyramid" structure where the slowest people are promoted each year.
Cons
Due to restructuring, we no longer get to hear ITs humourous one liners. Not enough levels I.e. instead of Analyst, Senior Analyst, Director there should be Analyst 1, Analyst 2, Snr analyst 1, Snr analyst 2, managing analyst, associate director, junior director, director 1, director 2, co-senior director, director OVERRIDE.
