Pros

I've loved working here for the past two years: Great exposure to international projects for the World Bank, developing country governments etc (nothing else like it in NZ) mixed with interesting NZ policy work Lovely work environment, lead by personable management Chance to take on responsibilities quickly and move up Learn transferable skills in economics, policy, finance etc Good interaction with clients, even for junior staff Exposed to all parts of the business, with a good open management culture

Cons

Have to be prepared to be thrown in the deep end and work reasonably independently (I liked this, but know it's not for everyone) Work slightly longer hours than elsewhere (but interesting work and management are very hardworking, so I found it worthwhile)

Pros

- The company cares about your professional development - Interesting and relevant projects - The leaders create a cooperative and friendly environment to work - Both leaders and colleagues challenge you to improve your skills - The company is very flexible with remote work

Cons

- As in most consultancies, there will be peak times when you have a lot of things to do and work a lot. However, there will be times when the amount of work is reduced, and you have more time - Depending on your location, you might work with leaders/colleagues that are not in your area. This limits the interaction with the people you work with
