Pros

- Good work life balance. But this can also depend on the type of project you find yourself in. However, the company doesn't demand employees to work crazy hours and there is an option of accrued days-in-lieu if you get approval. - Learning opportunities and a team that values and invests in L&D opportunities. - Exposure to a lot of different industries - mainly Government, Retail, Financial Services and Growth industries. - Upholds cross-capability collaboration with Strategy, Product, Engineering and Product - Experience capability is a core team at PS - Ideal experience for graduates looking to gain experience in this field, lots of opportunities to branch out and discover what you wan to specialise in. - Plenty of leave types including study leave, jury duty leave... even some leave I've never heard of. Great benefit.

Cons

- If the business is not doing well and not meeting targets, this directly affects employees in different ways. - Lack of employee benefits, no benefits or rewards platform. - Difficult to climb up the career ladder past senior associate level due to PS being a global company with a lot of restrictive processes and factors that are influenced based on how the company is performing (to be expected).

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
