Pros

People are generally worldly and interesting. You get a chance to solve genuinely interesting problems all over the world. If you are a regional specialist or globally minded you will thrive. There are parts of the business under exceptional leadership. Some parts needs serious strategic thinking applied to avoid self sabotage.

Cons

The pay is average and company needs to boost revenue to pay people more. As with any partnership there can be some who prioritise personal ambition over actually growing the business across service lines. Building little kingdoms doesn’t boost pay or bonuses.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Some of the work can be very interesting. - The firm does a bit of everything. - Global presence. - Everyone was very good people and easy to work with.

Cons

- Culture prioritizes individual areas of "expertise" over collective efforts resulting in a stiff and slow pace of work. The "One Firm" motto is not practiced. - Politics remains king for career advancement. - Junior employees get no visibility and their ideas are discarded very easily. Innovation is almost non existent.
