- Pay is well below market value. Women and people of colour are paid significantly less than their counterparts, and the business does not care to fix this. As a result, several women have left the business
- Bonuses have been cut due to business performance. Bonuses are reduced if the business hasn't been able to place you in a role, as they will cite 'not enough billable hours'
-The business now requires consultants to do sales work through their personal LinkedIn pages and bring in work, without any adequate training. Something that was not specified to people before joining
- High staff turnover over the last 2 years due to a number of issues including redundancies
- A lack of opportunities and Project Manager roles, often consultants are put on engagements where they do a lot of admin and PA related work
- For more senior levels, promotion requires you to manage teams of 6-10, however the business has no opportunities that allow for this meaning promotion is stunted
- Training is below average and there is a lack of courses that are from professionally recognized bodies. After 2 years you feel like you've done it all
- It often feels like a glorified recruitment agency, due to no support or contact from the business once you’ve been placed with a client
- Working away budgets are very low, meaning you'll end up staying in budget hotels with minimal dinner allowances
