Pros

Struggling with this one. I guess, you get paid for going there - albeit less than market rate.

Cons

During my brief time there I was asked to forge documents and window-dress the accounts. I was asked to ignore accepted accounting practices in favour of what the MD wanted to see. I witnessed bullying on a daily basis and was summarily dismissed for taking a holiday (that the MD signed off!) I would have taken this legal but I had not been at the company long enough.

Pros

During my time at Class People, I always felt supported and listened to. Management were approachable and consistently available to offer guidance or suggestions when needed. They showed a genuine commitment to professional development, and I really appreciated their approach of, “if you want to try something, we’ll back you in it.” That mindset created an open, trusting culture where new ideas were encouraged and individuals were given room to grow and take ownership of their work. It was a truly positive and empowering environment to be part of.

Cons

The biggest challenge I found was striking the balance between commercial interests and doing what felt fair, particularly when working with candidates who didn’t always share the same commitment to the company’s values. It’s part of the nature of the industry, but it could occasionally make decision-making more complex.

Pros

Good team of consultants who sadly eventually leave

Cons

Cold hearted individuals who put their own needs before anything else/team member. They don't lead from front and is very much a do as I say/not as I do. They come across as specialists online when realistically it is all show and eventually the ship will sink.
