Cons
My experience of the culture here was extremely negative. Senior leadership often relied on aggressive communication styles, which created a tense and intimidating environment rather than a supportive or professional one.
I personally witnessed behaviour from senior management that I found inappropriate and discriminatory, including comments that would be widely considered offensive. These incidents occurred openly and, in my experience, were not addressed, which contributed to a culture where people felt uncomfortable raising concerns.
Compensation is significantly below market relative to expectations and workload. Commission structures felt opaque, with senior staff taking a share of billings despite limited involvement. In periods without billing, consultants were expected to cover desk costs themselves, which added financial pressure and uncertainty.
Job security felt weak. Dismissals appeared to happen with little notice, and there was limited sense of loyalty or long-term investment in employees. The overall environment prioritised short-term revenue over professional development, ethical standards, or candidate relationships.
From a commercial perspective, the firm lacks strong brand recognition, average deal sizes are relatively small, and consistent billing across the team was uncommon. As a result, it was difficult to build credibility or a sustainable career path.
I would strongly caution anyone who values professionalism, ethical standards, and long-term development to think carefully before joining.
