Pros

Good projects, good exposure to high level clients, some working flexibility. Most staff are friendly and willing to help.

Cons

The company really doesn't reward well for good work. Promotions and pay rises are very slow - you have to really fight for recognition of a job well done. Very little incentive to put in the intense working hours. Also, the company doesn't really practice what they preach in terms of a 'good working environment'. While there is some form of flexible working, it isn't really practiced or encouraged. The politics are as bad as other big firms - you get rewarded if you shout loud enough and curry favour with the directors, not if you do great work.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
