The benefits of working in a tech start up with the back up of a corporation. Highly ethical.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- CSR is not a marketing stunt. - They lead tech in more ways than you can imagine. - Inspiring colleagues. Highly ethical all round. - Very collaborative. No hierarchies. - Highly entrepreneurial. - You are treated like an individual. - Importance to family life. Working hours are decent for consulting standards. - Diverse and multi-disciplinary workforce.

Cons

- Extreme collaboration slows decision making in situations where policy should be established. Too many people are involved into every decision. - Employees are treated so well that they constantly complaint about really small stuff. - Have the impression some colleagues don't understand what consulting is and nag about travel or project assignment (they don't know how good they have it compared to working in Accenture or CapGemini).

Pros

Even if you are not working on a social impact program, knowing that it is a priority with the company makes all the difference. The interview process means that you are always working on a good team.

Cons

5 days a week of traveling can mean that you only see your family for 36 hours a week for months on end.
