Pros

Fascinating work and interesting colleagues. Opportunity to travel on larger projects and with seniority. Can offer the chance to move internationally if that is desired.

Cons

Nothing that isn't true to the rest of the industry: demanding targets and increased competition can lead to high volumes of small scale projects that need to be balanced against larger, more interesting ones.

Pros

- Smart and easy-going colleagues, who are willing to share with you any "job tips" or knowledge per se - Management who would be very open to feedback - Nature of the work is already a huge plus: you've got to be involved in different industries and different countries and different types of analysis. Steep learning curve within the first few months! - Long holidays

Cons

- Work is cyclical: sometimes you are so busy you have to work late at night or even the weekends and sometimes you are simply doing very boring administrative works for the whole day(s) - Compensation could be improved, and yes other perks - Needs more bonding between management and staff

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

Very disappointing

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.
