Pros

Good London office location, opportunity to travel to other locations, some very skilled people

Cons

Lack of projects, poor pay and benefits, management doesn't care, no career growth opportunities, just a sinking ship of a company. No-one is happy to be here, everyone you speak to is secretly interviewing elsewhere. You will not meet a single software engineer who speaks positively about the company in the absence of management

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear your time at Zühlke left you feeling this way. While the past few years have been tough across the industry, our focus remains on investing in our people, our projects and our long-term future. As a leadership team, we also work to stay accessible and connected: through coffee chats, Zühlke Days, office events and regular Townhalls. It’s concerning that you didn’t feel supported or able to grow. We'll take that on board and continue to look at how we can do better. In the meantime, if you'd be open to talking more, please reach out to me at angela.bishop@zuhlke.com. Wishing you all the best for what’s ahead for you! Angela Bishop, CEO UK, Member of the Executive Team EMEA & Regional Managing Director Cross EMEA

Pros

Zühlke is an excellent if not that well known consultancy offering deep expertise in data, AI, software and digital transformation. Great people to work with, lots of training, mentoring and meet-ups.

Cons

Until recently a global Swiss based hierarchical style got in the way of some UK activities but this has since been acknowledged and revised
