Pros

* Incredibly friendly and welcoming team in the London office * Weekly paid team lunch * £800 annual technology and travel allowance

Cons

* No dedicated sick pay policy, it’s just statutory which I’ve never experienced in a UK company. Sick pay either has to be taken as annual leave or unpaid/statatory * Investment priorities feel misaligned. Founders will fund leadership ‘retreats’ while core benefits like sick pay, parental support and compassionate leave are limited/non existent. * When leadership come from head office their approach around socials and drinking feels very 80’s ad agency vibe. I’ve seen other comments on here about it being like a boys club and frat vibes and I agree. * Project allocation is inconsistent, with last-minute changes and limited communication around role fit * Communication in general is poor. We hardly ever know what is going on in the company and things happen very suddenly and without warning. * The office is not collaborative. It’s based in converted apartments in Shoreditch and this means the teams are in separate areas of the ‘office’. * Although the people in the London office are lovely and great to work with, the overarching culture from leadership overseas leans towards corporate America / boys club

Pros

-Great coworkers on the Associate Consultant, Consultant, and early manager levels -Thrown into the fire which means you learn a lot and gain new skills at a rapid pace -Reasonable hours/work-life balance

Cons

-Compensation is WELL below market rate, with no transparency on future salary increases or timelines. There are also no bonuses/performance based compensation despite significant discrepancies in employee workloads. -No HR department. Whenever employees are fired (which happens often and without notice) there is no source for employees to go to for questions/support. Similarly, if anything happens on a project that would require HR advice, there is nobody to go too. -Entry level employees are put onto projects without training or any knowledge expertise and expected to "figure it out" resulting in sub-optimal deliverables to the client and an overly-stressed day to day work environment -Upper level managers are unengaged on projects and individual team management. Some, also promote a toxic office social culture of gossiping about employees, creating a sense of discomfort among their team members -Client projects can be antiquated and you get no say on what you're assigned to or for how long you'll be on it
