Pros

Diversity and Inclusion are key parts of this company.

Working with big clients means you'll have some interesting projects to put on your CV.

Networking opportunities with a large group of people. I've met some amazing people whilst working here.

Cons

Pay is much less than the industry average.

If you're on a project you don't like, you might have to stay on it for ages before management finally decides to move you.

If you don't get a good line manager, you won't have much career support.

The performance reviews are really annoying.

Advice to Management

Pay your employees what they're worth.

If an employee has expressed that they'd like to switch projects, try and facilitate that.

Pick better line managers; some of them absolutely suck.

Find better ways to carry out performance reviews.
