Pros
- So long as you're billing, you're free to do as you please - Relative flexibility - Good pool of clients and a well known brand
Cons
- Senior management has changed significantly over the past 1-2yrs, resulting in a leader that few believe in - Bonuses very much 'finger in the air' - they'll pay as little as they think they can get away with (I was there for a number of years and it was always the same). If you have a slow start to the year, it makes catching up your shortfall and making a bonus very difficult. This is perhaps their biggest problem as a number of consultants would openly just 'ride the year out' and not push themselves. - Focus on hiring junior (cheap!) 'Associate Consultants' which is diluting what the brand was known for - If you're face fits, great. If not, you'll stagnate at the same level with increasing pressure. - Benefits, whilst similar to most competitors, are generally poor (mat leave for example)
