Pros

Some teams are great to work with/for.

Cons

It's a good old boys club where everyone else is expected to cater to them because they view their positions to be so much more important than others.

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely interesting work, early exposure to clients, very little micro-management, good office location and plenty of opportunities to travel. A generally very friendly working environment among highly educated and interesting people from all sorts of backgrounds.

Cons

Poor salary with zero transparency over how salaries are determined, no willingness to listen to (or help) staff struggling with (sometimes, impossible) workloads, very little voiced appreciation for good work, no concern over work-life balance or respect for leave time and weekends. Misleading pledges over career development and promotion.
