Pros

Salary and it was hybrid working. it was because now it's heavily monitored and you need to be in the office minimum 3 days a week. Pension contribution was good as well.

Cons

I have never been a part of such a toxic, corrupt, bad work environment. Don't get me wrong, there were very nice people but they had to put their head down, allow to be emotionally abused and work like a horse 10+ hours, sometimes even weekends. D&I is just empty talks. There is no guidance, no real business goals, no real strategy. Working there felt like having a new whirlwind every day and never know if you will finish by 5 or 10 pm. Everything that is said, stays on words, just fluffy and empty promises both internally and externally. I personally knew at least 5+ people who left the company due to stress and mental health reasons, where management was aware but did nothing. You are nothing more than a means to generate revenue, a number, and don't expect more. Rarely there is a nice Director or a Partner, but they usually sit in some pockets in Audit or Tax. I would not recommend anyone to go to Consulting, specially now when they are asking people to leave. I only saw people being promoted due to a) lack of diversity in senior positions or b)people who spend more than half of their time flattering seniors. Spend 2 years of my life there, working 70+ hours and the moment I started to stand out for the good work I was out... that says enough

Pros

Some great people who want to help. Polish support for UK work. Egyptian support for UK work. Marco Amitrano was appointed as UK Leader - before this there was a huge hiatus.

Cons

Too many people fighting with each other and spreading themselves too thinly to deliver. Way too overpriced (40-60% over market rates) for UK resources. Resources constantly moved away from opportunities to work on legacy work that has short shelf life. Many senior leaders lacked cloud, data and AI skills, experience and capability. Specialist experienced staff were few and far between in many key areas. Overlaps in practices, capability areas and skills in different sub groups of the partnership resulted in duplication of work and inefficiency. Too slow on the Gen AI train with the firm stuck on prompt engineering for way too long. Lack of open sharing of assets and learnings from key global entities - especially the US and India.

Pros

You end up learning very good tools, understand businesses and create good presentations

Cons

You don't do actual consulting, you do back end for other geography teams. You don't get the real feel of consulting. Your ego get hurt because IIM graduates report to B Tech graduates in US. If you want to grow, people expect you to attend calls at 7.30, start working by 9 and end at 10.30pm You're expected to do 1 project, 1 reinvestment and develop 1 proposal at a time. You need to do all these if you want to grow, which makes your life very hectic. 88% utilisation target for senior associates: The worse part is, while utilisation is calculated, vacations also count in the denominator, which essentially means that you should not either take vacations or you should bill 9 hours everyday throughout an year without getting onto bench.
