Vantaggi
Interesting range of projects to be involved in nationally and locally in the West Midlands. Friendly colleagues at team-level.
Svantaggi
Bad senior management with toxic workplace practices being normalised. Culture of not reporting issues. For example: - Practice-wide emails naming and shaming if your timesheet hasn't been completed on a Thursday. There are better ways to deal with this. If you've been off sick and haven't been able to complete your timesheet you still end up on 'the list'! - Intimidation of junior staff by a specific member of the senior management in PEC. At least 3 members of the team had the same experience. Verbally being on the receiving end of false accusations and receiving subtle threats about their progression within the company, yet framing these chats as being helpful for their learning and progression ('I'm doing this because I care' manipulation). Being blamed to cover up the mismanagement of their own time. Salaries are less competitive than other large consultancies.
