Pros

- Great people - Interesting clients, a mix of big firms and global lesser known brands which creates a variety of opportunities and ability to work at C-suite/board level for all team members - Ability to take ownership for own performance and manage your own time - Commitment from leadership for work-life balance - Backing of a global firm but local boutique feel - European seminar brings all European staff and global leadership together - Friday afternoon wine and cheese is a great way to have a reason to be in the office and meet other team members across all practice areas

Cons

- As a small firm, utilisation is high and a focus of the business which can make it harder to do the extra beyond client delivery - Again, as a small firm, there is nowhere to hide so under performance gets highlighted and managed accordingly, which can be interpreted as high turnover when people choose to leave

Pros

Coworkers are nice and some managers are supportive

Cons

Low pay and the way year-end reviews are done is ajoke. Going above and beyond at this company means having to work 5-9 after your 9-5. They expect you to have no life for measly pay. Turn over rate is high. Offices are disjointed. Leadership are having "benchmarking" contests left and right for sales. Anyway good people are leaving this company because honestly, they expect you to just grind it out without the pay of a big tier firm. Gender diversity is also seriously lacking at the top.
