Pluspunten

Some decent and kind colleagues

Minpunten

It is impossible to imagine how clients pay for management advice from this firm. The HR practices are clownish. Senior managers don’t have the faintest clue how to manage people or projects. There is no functioning management structure so advancement is simply down to being liked by the boss. New hires are so shocked at the chaotic culture that there’s a swingeing bond scheme where you are forced to buy your work laptop and pay for any training if you leave, financially trapping innocent victims in a lunatic asylum. Does that sound harsh? The boss wins business and refuses to say what he has promised the clients. He is the first one to leave the office every day. He has no idea how to resource the commitments he makes and must imagine a team of elves are doing the work overnight. The firm advises clients strategically on HR, Finance, Marketing etc. yet is incapable of applying this to its own work. It is a truly difficult challenge to ascertain what the boss actually does.

Pluspunten

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Minpunten

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
