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.

Pros

Flexible Work Travel opportunity Some friendly colleagues

Cons

Micromanagement No definite direction Looses smart personnel who works hard for years. Management hires new personnel from it's previous company and put into position without experience and knowledge. In you are not in UK, you will have no career growth, no say, just follow. No standards Using old technology
