Pros
There are some nice people and potential for good projects.
Cons
There is little to no leadership in the UK&I hub. It is all led from Dublin by a couple of partners from the previous iteration of the company. They have no expertise and bring in little to work. They force pressure on people at all levels to be bringing in work while they sit there on their hands. Senior consultants and managers are spoken down to if they don't land big contracts and progression is based on either bringing in hundreds of thousands of work for junior staff or licking the backside of certain partners. There are no proper policies in place, the office is not set up for work, including having no monitors or keyboards to work from. The HR is non-existent, as in a recruiter was made the sole HR person for both countries. The culture is toxic, people constantly fighting over who owns what piece of work. This is encouraged. There is no training budget and graduates are left to fend for themselves with no support. I would be surprised if the London and Dublin offices are still open in a couple of years.
