Pros

Pros : The office is in a good city centre location which is easy to get to via public transport.

Cons

Very old fashioned Communication with HR/ management is poor Very clicky Some of the partners have no filter and can be quite rude Expected to do a lot of over time without being paid for it Lack of opportunity to work on a range of projects No office atmosphere, often silent All desk based work with no site visits No team feel Flexible working is only for partners and senior members of staff High staff turnover

Pros

Would genuinely struggle to think of any.

Cons

This has been one of the worst companies I’ve worked for. There is little to no career progression, and the environment is dominated by micro-management. You have to push repeatedly just to get issues acknowledged. Pay is inconsistent, with minimal pay rises. Junior staff are taken advantage of, and the company is extremely top-heavy.

Pros

Always seeking feedback from employees. Listen to their employees, most recently relocating the London Office to provide a more suitable environment. Recently introduced a new benefits package labelled 'The People Plan' which sets out private health care insurance, car allowance, maternity and paternity leave, birthdays off and a extra wellbeing day off. They have their employees in mind. Senior colleagues are always happy to assist with questions and will help provide solutions. A good work life balance. If you are looking to work for a SME, this is the place.

Cons

Not enough diversity and not enough women in senior positions.
