Pros
- Opportunities to grow within the company (if it's what you want) - Consulting companies really give you a strong structure and mindset that will help you in your future career opportunities - Great experience to build resilience and learn how to use ppt
Cons
- Low salary compared to other EU markets the high cost of living in Milan - Workload is un-efficiently distributed. Sometimes I used to have normal workload throughout the day but at 5:30pm an urgent request comes in from your manager and you'll have to work overtime (often until 12am/1am) for free on slides of projects you're not even working on - I've been given zero training when I joined and no one was explaining anything to me - Toxic culture that values long hours over productivity - Lack of a clear understanding of my responsibilities and the projects I was working on as an analyst - Long and indefinite project durations without clear start and end dates (I've been staffed on only 2 projects in a year and a half I've been working there)
