Pros

Good pension benefits, met some nice people, good grad scheme

Cons

Bad pay for the amount of work, quite often you have to work on weekends/overtime in the evenings. They used Bell Curve Method of Performance which means many of your colleagues treat you like an enemy. There's no team spirit. The company uses really old methodology/waterfall development. There's a lack of senior software engineers/people with medium amount of experience. Most people are either really junior or senior manager/architect level. The company is also very hierarchical. Talking to the boss of your boss is frowned upon. Finally, since it's an IT consultancy you can be sent to a city you don't want to live in unless you can find a role in your area, you can also be forced to do a job you don't want.

Pros

Flexible work hours Company laptop and phone, and benefits scheme Can work from home Good social life Work-life balance was fine

Cons

I was left "on the bench" for months on end due to not being on a project The sorts of roles that were said to be available for me (I wanted to go into the more financial side, so working with accounting etc) turned out not to be For students/graduates/junior members, they use you as cheap resources, you might be doing the same work as a more experienced member but be on far less pay
