Advice to Management

More of the same please - keep stretching us and encouraging all levels to step up and challenge the status quo

Pros

Being away from home during the week is probably the main con for most people.

Pros

High average IQ level of colleagues Interesting projects Great methodology that can be used elsewhere

Cons

Lots of travel, often driving long distances on little sleep Always on a client site, so internal work was expected to be done in the evenings Most company events revolve around excessive drinking Very poor diversity People rapidly accelerated to line managers without appropriate support, leading to setting people up for failure rather than success Managers throw team under the bus when things don’t go well Lots...

Advice to Management

Work out your values and then hire for them

Pros

Peers at grad level are largely good people Can live at home so save money Making impact early on

Cons

Pay is less than advertised (38k basic) Little to no pastoral care Difficult to change culture Expect to work 55+ hour weeks most weeks Around 50% of people leave inside 12 months

Advice to Management

Acknowledge and be sympathetic for the stress you cause people in the early stages of their careers with this job; too many bright grads with good potential burn out from being mismanaged then are managed out of the business. Supporting that better will help your retention rate and growth.

colleagues, interesting work, attentive management

Cons

must be comfortable living 5 days a week in a hotel

Pros

I really love the culture - focus on people and the care that everyone has for doing a good job with clients.

Cons

The projects are hard - it’s what makes it feel worthwhile - but it can be tough.

Advice to Management

Keep focusing on people and our focus on clients.

Pros

Working with some of the most driven, capable and likeable people I believe I'll ever meet. You get given responsibility very early on, being part of a project and on client site everyday from week 5. Social side of the job and the full social calendar with fortnightly company-wide meetups, subsidised weekends away (skiing, surfing, sailing, hiking, cycling) and summer/christmas parties which are like no company my...

Cons

Due to the challenging work (intellectually, behaviourally and emotionally), early responsibility, and the fact everyone genuinely wants to do the best they can there can be some really tough times. However without those we wouldn't gain the experience which ensures everyone develops quickly and feels like they are always being stretched. Being away mon-fri can be hard and isn't for everyone - we wouldn't be able to...
