Pros

If you enjoy administrative duties such as creating invoices, reviewing expense reports, and ensuring consultants billed the correct charge code, this is the place for you.

Cons

Very little finance involved in the role. Pay is significantly lower than market. They offset this with the opportunity to work from home, but most other firms offer that by now anyways. Very little opportunity for promotions. The promotion schedule is nearly twice as long as client facing/consulting roles. Turnover is incredibly high. They don’t fill the empty seats quickly either, meaning there is a lot more work on your plate with no reward. Even with the turnover they do not promote due to “budget constraints”.

Pros

I can't find any pros.

Cons

Other coworkers will lie and take advantage of you if it saves the company a dime. Expect to work lots of overtime but I was told I'm not allowed to put over 8 hours during a workday.

Pros

The offices are Ok if you ever get to go in one

Cons

They expect hard work (late evenings weekends), to go to any location worldwide (normally a grim business park in the middle of no-where) at the drop of a hat - potentially for years, 4 days a week and they don’t reward performance with pay or promotion, even if you have glowing feedback from clients / leadership alike. Pay is not in line with the market and I have experienced more junior males being readily promoted above females in some areas, who have predominantly male executive teams making the decisions. This is unfortunate considering the external propaganda released on inclusion and diversity. ( I wish they played by the standards set out in those videos!) The model is to burn out bright young energetic people and then replace them with new graduates, who they can pay more cheaply yet will charge clients a high margin for those people and encourage others to resign. Some of the leadership are known bullies and my practice has quite a toxic culture.
