Failure to recognise value

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to learn and develop in a fast-paced environment, and to contribute at a senior level, beyond what would be allowed at a Big 4 consultancy.

Cons

Management fails to enable more junior employees, and does not take advantage of diverse skill-sets. Does not reward the individuals who actually add value, but those who fit in the company's culture.

Fun and challenging work, incredibly smart people, but there is a catch

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the best companies in the industry for quality and service. Top class capabilities and very strong ethics. Attracts talented, smart people from around the world. Daily intake of problem solving for clients, so very stimulating intellectually. Can move around the company on client work or relocation. Pretty relaxed culture, diversity is improving.

Cons

Because the company offers amazing work and people, it gets away with mediocre financial and career rewards. Promotions and salaries are non transparent. Can pay 70-80%of market rate (Lomdon) for consulting and manager roles if promoted internally (vs external hires). New partnership structure still in early days - middle mngt squeezed til they drop to pay for the senior coverage. Many partners bring in zero money - its all down to low paid consultants to keep the lights on.
