Sinking Ship - Stay Away

Contract manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- International work environment - Friendly colleagues

Cons

- Incredible amount of broken promises from interview process - No salary increases, even to balance inflation; - No transparency (e.g. bonus scheme was halved for all employees without any communication on that point - the year before, bonuses were cancelled completely) - There's senior employees and people with less than 2 years experience. Everyone leaves because it is such a badly run business

Some interesting work but lacks integrity: don't recommend

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Most colleagues are great and highly intelligent - Most clients have interesting challenges - Relatively flexible working environment

Cons

- The work lacks integrity - much of the work is cookie-cutter and based on little information or expertise. The bulk of the work is compliance related and incredibly dull. - The company is a bit of an old boys club, a lot of information is unnecesarily kept from colleagues and staff - Bonuses are low and incredibly complex - no relationship to your own or even your team's work but the entire company's success. - Salaries low compared to other consultancies
