Pros

Pays market rate. Free drinks. Gets me out of the flat.

Cons

3rd job in my career and wish I hadn't moved to crapco.  Very short term view. No strategy apart from making as much money as possible for the company via any means. No high quality projects just bums on seats. Best jobs given to favourites.   Too much time on the bench. No career progression. A body shop. No investment in staff ie no interest in providing study packages only unaccredited internal indoctrination sessions.  Two faced dictator who only looks after his little cliché 2nd but his back 1st. High staff turnover with a number of good senior consultants and partners left in the last 6 months. Delusional,  self centred and arrogent management. Previous well respected management kicked out and rumours created about criminal behaviour spread about them to undermined and ruin them. Cult like environment,  where employees are called "the family" with a superficial "we love you, you are amazing" atmosphere. Those that don't buy into this are kicked out. Terrible HR who are slow, unprofessional  and unapproachable.  Regular work events after hours everyone is expected to attend so that he can have a stage to re-establish himself and his elevated position along withepropaganda. Non existent internal processes. Promotions and bonus' based on a mates basis.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
