Svantaggi
This sector is understaffed and overworked. These people don't, nor will they, care about you and your wellbeing. In the last few years they've removed double pay for weekend overtime as well as introduced contract changes that make the first hour you work a day unpaid too. Unsurprisingly they've since taken the opportunity to enforce mandatory overtime clauses in contracts across several offices which are due be in place for several months. The leave you can take during this time is also restricted. Work from home privileges have been gutted and working conditions at client sites are poor and would not pass any kind of DSE assessments. Although you join with a designated office location in your contract, you will spend the bulk of your time at a client's for which additional travel time is very rarely eligible for overtime/pay. Thus prepare to travel double, sometimes triple your normal work commute on a near daily basis. Their partner pay and benefits increased, and their profits have remained strong, but rest assured your pay will be the exception to that rule. The people you will encounter are truly lovely and it's a welcoming team environment, but this sentiment of "we're all in this together" omits the fact that those at the top refuse to properly deal with inadequate staffing issues and employee welfare concerns.
