Business outlook
Pros
- Fantastic, really talented and friendly colleagues - Good support and welfare systems - Really interesting projects - Some great extra-curricular activities e.g. volunteering, research & innovation club - Generally great leadership
Cons
- Work-life balance poor, I had to work a 47 hour week (contracted 37.5 hours) every week to meet billable hours target and this wasn't uncommon. Expect a lot of late nights and weekend work. - Wouldn't describe it as a "laddy" culture, but definitely male-culture dominated, manifests in poor gender pay gap and visibly fewer opportunities and promotions for women. - Some isolated examples of poor leadership e.g. making fun of junior staff's physical appearance.
