Vantaggi
+ Good people; little ego or politics compared to most consulting firms + Very social, friendly culture. Frequent (unofficial) work drinks + High performers can progress quite quickly (entry-level to team leader within ~3yrs) + Personal training budget (although few people use this given long working hours tend to prevent people from having the time) + The business is exploring new markets and projects, which opens new opportunities for employees
Svantaggi
- Work-life balance can be atrocious at times, particularly at analyst level, and senior management appears to view this as an acceptable situation - Fairly low salaries for the market, especially at analyst level, although bear in mind it can grow quite fast if you do well - The pace of work oscillates wildly between dull, repetitive drudgery and overly stressful crunch periods (where the work can be interesting, but the workload too intense); it's hard to find the right balance between being challenged/motivated and not being overworked - Opportunity to learn transferable technical skills on the job is very limited, unless you have some reason to want to learn Alteryx - The feedback process doesn't really work very well; most feedback is channeled through your line manager rather than coming from each colleague directly, which can mean things get lost in translation or completely forgotten about until your performance review. They do an anonymous 360 feedback review 2x per year which, as nice as it sounds, just removes people's incentive to get good at giving fair, constructive feedback the rest of the year, given they can say whatever they want (whether helpful or not) via an anonymous survey.
