Business Outlook

Pros

Great brand, great opportunity to meet clients. Expand network.

Cons

Senior management are clowns. they too busy with their egos and trying to be comedians (literally). No support. Everyone in the office is competing with each other. You won't learn much here as you would at smaller firms.

Outstanding Institution!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. It (generally) cares about its people 2. It has a client base to die for. 3. It has a strong moral compass and by and large attracts people with high integrity 4. The array of work is fascinating 5. Lots of opportunity to both travel and/or work and live overseas. 6. Tends not to allow prima donnas!

Cons

1. It is going through significant change to achieve its mid-term goals; I am not sure the cultural and structural measures required (and understanding of the ensuing impacts) required to achieve that strategy were identified and subsequent remedies implemented. 2. A disproportionately swollen mid and back office has significantly reduced margins and there is sense of the cart leading the horse. 3. Empower the regions and decentralize some group functions more to those same regions.

Pros

Flexible working hours. Decent benefits, although I did not get to utilise it. Bonus scale is transparent to everyone in the firm.

Cons

High turnover rate due to long working hours and low pay. Some departments are really understaffed (heard its been ongoing for years!) and management does not care. I noped out of there as soon as I could!
