Pros

Very flexible environment to work in. Great benefits of getting half days every month and one late start/early leave per month. The parties are always really good fun and there is quite a big drinking culture.

Cons

Very little to no communication between the teams and between the senior managers and others. There is a big divide between those on the profit share system and those who are not. Those who are not on it get discretionary bonuses which fluctuate massively in value and do not reflect truly how individuals have billed. The managers have no training as managers as they inherited their positions due to seniority which has obvious problems.
