Superb company to work for, although not perfect.

Senior analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is always interesting and engaging. Despite the British backbone, the Asia offices are extremely diverse in terms of nationalities and professional backgrounds. Overall company culture is supportive, with lots of options for development.

Cons

Too many senior managers not pulling their weight. Marketing strategy is quite weak.

High fees, low salaries

Business researcher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fascinating work, good access to travel, intelligent people, very capable client facing staff, genuine insight and knowledge.

Cons

Pays well under industry average in CSC, has a terribly biased reward structure that disadvantages fee earning staff, has a business development department which, uniquely, refuses to write proposals or go to client meetings without babysitting and is generally quite extraordinarily incompetent, weirdly well paid and packed so full of ego that there is a visible force field surrounding them that defends them from anything but credit for other people's hard work.

Very disappointing

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work hours are reasonable. If you're fortunate, you will find some very friendly, intelligent colleagues. Good travel opportunities, but only if you don't have a manager who hogs them.

Cons

Terrible management. Bullying bosses. Extremely cliquey environment. White male oriented. The job promises you the world, but when you arrive, you are required to do the most mundane of tasks. Hostile atmosphere.
