Pros

Honestly, I can’t think of any.

Cons

If you’re an over-50 white male who has no interest in innovation or diversity, this is the place for you...the place where employees need to use Internet Explorer to access/use archaic, barely functioning internal applications; where you’re required to wear suits and ties or business suits circa Working Girl; and where coworkers choose to stare at their computers all day rather than interact or collaborate with others. Honestly, it’s one of the weirdest workplaces I’ve ever known. There’s no interest in pushing technology or processes forward; rather, Senior management’s sole concern is to make sure their team is working on billable projects. That said, management expects team members to somehow find these assignments themselves, using what even the Resource Manager team member describes as a broken and out of date system. Management is seldom even in the same office as their team and the only time you’ll hear from them is after you submit your weekly hours (if they’re non-billable, that is.) Don’t expect career growth or learning opportunities here, either. Management will throw any team member available into a role that they’re not qualified for if they can’t find someone more suitable - and don’t expect any support or check-ins, either. It’s sink or swim here.

Pros

Financial strong Promote good working values and practices Work life balance. Generally good people

Cons

Stuffy old school culture (suit and ties etc.) not in line with modern working or even client expectations. Standard kit provided is not in line with market expectations. No idea of modern collaborative working spaces. New digital space in London was a coffee area and a couple of sofas! Lead by Canadas global view enforcing global models and frameworks which don't align in all marketplaces. All about the numbers and very metrics driven with a drive to measure everything rather than focus on what really adds value. Don't practice what they preach! Internal systems are very poor not user centric or joined up resulting in significant admin time for employees and the business itself. Therefore, overheads bigger than they should be. Much of the data entry, which should be automated, is still very labour intensive and manual resulting significant opportunity for human error, perpetuating employee administration and overhead.
