Pros

people, interesting work and client base

Cons

Lack of recognition, long working hours, micro-management. Low pay with no real benefits and no pay rise over a year, which is basically a pay cut considering the current economic context. Bonuses are non-existent due to financial challenges, yet they keep having the same excuse for many years despite high profit margins. They keep postponing promotions, yet they have been promoting people in the down low, which screams lack of transparency and ethics. They expect you to go beyond your tasks, yet no recognition or promotion in sight (unless you are cliquey with the senior management), with a mediocre pay and long hours. Only good side is building your resume but don't last here too long. Very cliquey, obvious favouritism from management to the team. They keep complaining about the high turnover rates but do nothing about it. They hire managers not for their expertise, but to bring money, so you end up working for a manager who is incompetent and has no knowledge of the actual practice, only know how to sell work. All talk and no action.

Pros

- Interesting projects and clients - International exposure - Great team culture (depending on your team)

Cons

- Bonus got slashed due to group structure change (which led to our group not hitting the target, even though our department did) - Political at the top, old boys club. - Firm is not run by professionals and business leaders - instead it's run by all the old boys (ie. former intelligence/military folk (who are great at what they do but not really at runnning business)

Pros

Mostly young workforce Heart of London city Gives you the feeling you are doing something very important

Cons

Extremely toxic culture, backstabbing, very high turnover as a result especially in the IT. Incapable, uneducated senior management with an attitude of know it all. Unstable, you can get fired in one day because your manager had a fight with you. Sheep culture. Promotion based on gender, extreme feminists at top levels.
