Pros

-Lovely office in great location. -Great people, friendly culture -Office drinks and snacks -Good place to get a bit of experience

Cons

-Lots of bench time for some consultants unless they're lucky enough to get locked into a long term project, which ends up feeling like you work FT elsewhere. I spent 1.5yr on one client in a BAU role. -Very undisciplined which people take advantage of (not turning up to office despite not having WFH contracts, people do nothing while on bench etc. -Impossible to progress. Forever chasing promotions that the company says they can afford, then they can't, and repeat. -Terrible comms from C-suite and senior management. -Managers never seem to know what's going on as everything is controlled by S Management in USA. -The American comms don't always translate well to UK, very in your face and sometimes disingenuous which I don't think is received well here

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
