Very poor rude and aggressive management, tries to be like the Big 4 but without interesting work and the rewards

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Not too much control by senior management as they don't really know what's going on so you have a lot more freedom than the big 4. Nice canteen

Cons

Unfair dismissals common - staff that have spent 10years there "advised to see a lawyer" and escorted out of building!! Not a meritocracy - newer members of the team overlooked constantly Poor rewards compared to the big4 Less interesting projects than the big4 Rude and agressive middle managers HR and IT internal capabilities the worst I have seen anywhere, HR can't calculate Tax and loses key and confidentials documents as a matter of routine, IT especially the "ebusiness" team can't deliver projects Less intelligent staff than the big4
