Pros
Q5 is defined by its culture - which is inclusive, supportive and empowering. This culture has enabled me to grow my career in ways I never imagined - not just in the raw elements of building a consulting career - in delivery of projects, but also through supporting BD, offering development and being allowed to contribute to other areas - like our pro bono consulting offer - ‘Pop Up’. As a result I am a far more rounded consultant than I think I would be had I stayed in the Big 4.
Cons
The market recently has been very tough for the whole consulting sector - Q5 has done a good job at maintaining its size and shape during this period - but as we gear for growth again, it’s important we organise ourselves so that we are best able to sustain great opportunities for all of our people and evolve how we serve our clients. I’m confident the firm will do this and continue to be a warm place to build successful consulting careers
