Vantaggi
Pay is acceptable at middle/ higher levels. Some divisions benefit from the' large conglomerate' business model. The brand is well recognized in some markets, eg USA. The existing client base helps some sectors/ groups to keep chugging along. The group has now re-branded the advisory arm to overcome some of the bureaucratic challenges.
Svantaggi
Highly bureaucratic and process-oriented. Large size is restricting its ability to move fast, especially in new markets. General environment not conducive to a sharp, flexible consulting division. Culture of acquisition of smaller firms without adequate integration has left senior management fighting for power and lowering the energy and morale in some teams. Limited opportunities for junior staff to grow unless they are pushy. Traditionally male-dominated engineering style of operations- although recently some effort to be more diverse.
