Pros

- Good work life balance. But this can also depend on the type of project you find yourself in. However, the company doesn't demand employees to work crazy hours and there is an option of accrued days-in-lieu if you get approval. - Learning opportunities and a team that values and invests in L&D opportunities. - Exposure to a lot of different industries - mainly Government, Retail, Financial Services and Growth industries. - Upholds cross-capability collaboration with Strategy, Product, Engineering and Product - Experience capability is a core team at PS - Ideal experience for graduates looking to gain experience in this field, lots of opportunities to branch out and discover what you wan to specialise in. - Plenty of leave types including study leave, jury duty leave... even some leave I've never heard of. Great benefit.

Cons

- If the business is not doing well and not meeting targets, this directly affects employees in different ways. - Lack of employee benefits, no benefits or rewards platform. - Difficult to climb up the career ladder past senior associate level due to PS being a global company with a lot of restrictive processes and factors that are influenced based on how the company is performing (to be expected).

Pros

Organized Clear promotion structure DEI friendly + company orgs to join Good pay, benefits, location You're connected to mentors

Cons

Client placement may take a while Lots of training on basic things from my university courses, while they're very beginner friendly, it didn't feel like the best use of my time Worked on a toy project instead of introductions to real world impact projects. You're evaluated more on your ability to network, build relationships, and visibility (which is important when working with clients) as opposed to technical skills - the assumption is that the training they offer will get you up to par In hindsight, there were a lot of unwritten rules that caught me off guard in terms of networking and performance requirements, so the lack of a return offer blindsided me. DEI was huge in 2022 but wasn't genuine and had double standards. They mentioned holding "safe spaces" to speak, but it was not *really* safe and you're still speaking in a corporate place with unspoken professional world rules. Ifykyk.
