Vantaggi

Dynamic growth strategy that is likely to be highly successful Long term financial benefits (but you have to stick it out) Amazing junior colleagues Impressive client list (UK) A handful of genuinely innovative projects/approaches

Svantaggi

McKinsey hours/demands without the pay/recognisable name / industry leading technical skills No balance between commercial outcomes and staff wellbeing/sustainability Complete lack of developmental emphasis (in theory it is supposed to happen on the job, but with projects chronically under resourced and development of young talent not high on the agenda, in most circumstances, it is simply missed) Lack of transparent corporate policies - masquerading as 'nimble' but actually allowing for low level exploitation

Vantaggi

Nice and helpful office management, free snacks.

Svantaggi

Main focus on London employees, actively undercuts US labor market with the cheaper UK resources while selling US resources to clients. Unfocused leadership, executes inorganic growth, and puts no effort into integrating companies. For example, acquisition from 2 years ago still use legacy email. Solely focused on stock price, not people or performance, anytime you talk to a leader they’re actively watching or thinking about the stock price, not performance. People are a revolving door, just look at how many Glassdoor reviews there are for such a small company. Highly recommend avoiding if you are an experienced hire. They will make no effort to teach you their mysterious “Elixirr” way and will quickly cut you, made worse by US based senior managers who are good consultants but have no desire to help growth. Hearsay and gossip are rampant, many things I was told without asking turned out to not be true. Haven’t seen this level since high school. Partners struggle to identify project risk and are too slow to take action to salvage client, resulting in lost work.
