Pros

Major clients including multinational companies, smart colleagues and a general co-operative environment. You learn quickly what companies seeking political risk advice want to know, and have serious exposure from the get go. Client facing happens from early on, and most colleagues are friendly, and decent people. Plenty of proper brains; diverse staff - lots of languages spoken. In principle, you can hop / move up to other divisions (Sales, Corporate Investigations).

Cons

They work their analysts hard, and they have quite a high rate of churn - analysts moving on every couple of years or so..... The Blackberry never stops (as it's a global firm, you get emails from offices round the world constantly).

Pros

Great projects, very smart people, extensive opportunities to travel and relocate, real care in servicing clients; one of the best consultancies for a career in risk management. The culture is unique and fantastic.

Cons

Financial rewards are not in the company's culture so don't expect to be paid according to your qualifications, hard work or market price. Bonus are not paid or when they are, they are miserable. Overall it's a place to learn, not to earn money. Work balance is generally fine but there are some intense work phases, as in any other consultancy.

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.
