Avantages
Highly talented graduates across the junior levels (Analyst to Manager) who are generally lovely Working abroad opportunities
Inconvénients
As financial year-end approaches a select group of influential Partners decide who should be fired. Individuals disappear with no warning, no performance improvement plan and no explanation for the the rest of the firm - even when it disrupts live projects. Employee Rights and the legal ‘fair dismissal’ processes are flagrantly ignored, putting the company at risk of Tribunal action - if they haven't already Psychopathic and overbearing management styles win in the long term meaning the firm is top heavy with people who are not emotionally intelligent who bully, reprimand and degrade their teams as ‘motivation’, and who deem 14+ hour days as normal, necessary and the only indication of ‘talent’. The other indicator of ‘talent’ is who can best suppress independent thought and do exactly as told without question or discussion. At interview they described a very ‘flat non-hierarchical’ structure, but it is the most incredibly hierarchical company and it is stifling at the Analyst and Consultant level. Everyone who works here is de facto exceptionally smart, however, ‘power’ seems to go to peoples heads and the number of senior levels that speak to their juniors as if they are utter morons is disappointing to say the least. There are some gems in management roles who are normal and effective.
