Business Outlook

Pros

Good access to a pool of talent including various disciplines. Good office facilities, building, location. The company has free access to most of the required standards relevant to the industry.

Cons

Business development functions are under developed. This resulted in lower than required projects and forward workload of which the flow-on effects are employee retrenchment. Profit margins are kept too high which resulted in losing out to competition on several projects. Career progression limited.

Business Outlook

Pros

Job security as it has good flow of workload in the current market.

Cons

Low pay. Your pay will not be brought up to the market rate once you are in no matter how long you are there unless you get a significant promotion (with benefits). Pay reviews are only done to fill forms. 0 increase while i was there (no inflation increase either). I was told i would need to keep my KPIs up to be considered for a salary review - but few years in a row - did not get one even after meeting the expectations. Others got promoted despite not being chargable the whole year!!!!! Pigeonholed - you cannot work in other fields or move between departments if you are interested in other disciplines to grow your expertise - choose wisely!

Like most consultancies, emphasis on utilisation and billable hours, overtime is a silent expectation especially the more senior you become, some people tend to burnout
