Vantaggi
Good as a first job to get experience Peer group is good and plenty of socials (as long as you like drinking) - but turnover is so high you will see everyone leave Your next job will be a pleasant surprise after PL
Svantaggi
Development - is nonexistent, training varies from shoddy to nonexistent, and it is the sole responsibility of one of the peers in your team who may be stuck training several other people, already desperately trying to leave PL, or still in their probation/training period themselves - you get bingo if it is all of the above! even if you don't get a trainer that will not stop a consultant for getting angry at you for not knowing something you had no possible way to know Pay - as mentioned by others the bonus structure, pay progression, and development opportunities are well below par for this sector and this is the reason they struggle to hire researchers from other search firms and therefore rely on fresh graduates. Promotions are incredibly subjective and reviews give non-specific feedback about needing more experience rather than tangible goals. Diversity - is something for their clients and not for them, it is constantly talked about but never from an internal basis (apart from when they brought in a bunch of interns to improve their diversity) People management skills - are not something they seem to value or at least no one has them which again explains the incredibly high turnover and lack of processes and training. I don't know how they stay profitable or keep their clients with how they operate Hierarchy - they will claim it isn't there but that is laughable if you are joining as a researcher you are at the bottom of the ladder so prepare to be stepped on If you are going to take the job with them give it a year for experience and then move on but really you should just find something better now unless really desperate Also, they will lie in the interview about pay, progression, etc so make sure you get anything agreed in writing
