Pros

• Excellent career choice for graduates, but beyond those early years, it becomes a hard slog. • Great opportunities to work across projects and industries, picking up different skill sets. • You are always given opportunities to step up to the next role/grade. • Working with some very talented people.

Cons

• No work/life balance!!! Very long working hours are the norm. • Performance management system is unclear and often comes across as unfair. • Project timelines are often unrealistic and poorly managed.

Advice to Management

One of your core values is 'Respect the Individual' – but non-consultancy staff are seen as just a number with a pound sign over their heads and nothing more. Treat staff with some respect and allow them to steer their careers in the direction they want.
