Pros

- Some of the most fun & skilled people I have ever worked with - There are some oustanding mentors in the business. If you can grab one, you will have support for life - Great chance to take responsibility early on for your own business - Opportunity to become a real specialist in your area of business - Diverse portfolio of clients - Extensive internal support - IT database & systems - Extensive UK & global network of offices - Brand name - Training programme for new starters

Cons

- You have to be super resilient, otherwise you will not fall in love with this job - Day to day decisions can take too long to be approved by senior management, and job opportunities can often be lost - Business strategies can get lost in translation - Constant target and KPI pressure is not to everyone's liking - True flexible working is not available
