Nepotism as a norm, common discriminatory practices

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice offices Some good people

Cons

Nepotism is prevalent They pride themselves with "speak up" culture but the moment you speak up you are treated as an enemy. Top education is not respected as they pride themselves of having school graduates with no University education reaching partner level. There are many managers with no University education. Which is fine but as a University graduate you may find yourself being managed by management who have not been to a University and who will look down on your top education. Pay rise and promotion is very much based on your relationship with certain people rather than on your performance goals achieved. Women pay gap is huge and gender discrimination especially in tech is a norm.

Career progression is a lie

Senior consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great diversity of clients, engagements and types of work. the staff are pretty awesome too. and they allow wfh/office/client site which is great.

Cons

the leadership doesn't look after you and make sure you'll have billable work, then they make out that at the junior levels you need to be worried if you don't have enough billable hours. they'll pull your bonus because they're not making enough money - but you don't have to worry about your job security - yet they will still promote multiple partners. the workload can be ridiculous (multiple 18 hour days). you will get pigeon holed so be careful which engagements you get on if you have any choice.
