Pros

- Broad range of expertise within the organisation at your fingertips - Great offices, central location which is easily accessible on bus/train - Staff are generally easy going and friendly - Global firm with the possibility of international transfer -

Cons

- Emphasis on utilisation and writedowns changes on a monthly basis - Staff are so worried about having utilisation they'll over book to jobs - Lack of power for discipline leaders to award pay raises, bonuses, recruit etc. - Business is crippled by unnecessary administrative tasks, approvals - Risk averse, we are constantly 'the difficult ones' when it comes to signing contracts - Renumeration is generally below industry average
