Pluspunten

Interesting range of projects to be involved in nationally and locally in the West Midlands. Friendly colleagues at team-level.

Minpunten

Bad senior management with toxic workplace practices being normalised. Culture of not reporting issues. For example: - Practice-wide emails naming and shaming if your timesheet hasn't been completed on a Thursday. There are better ways to deal with this. If you've been off sick and haven't been able to complete your timesheet you still end up on 'the list'! - Intimidation of junior staff by a specific member of the senior management in PEC. At least 3 members of the team had the same experience. Verbally being on the receiving end of false accusations and receiving subtle threats about their progression within the company, yet framing these chats as being helpful for their learning and progression ('I'm doing this because I care' manipulation). Being blamed to cover up the mismanagement of their own time. Salaries are less competitive than other large consultancies.

Pluspunten

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Minpunten

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
