Pros

Nice team and office location

Cons

Very top down structure. Management have all been there for years and are part of the old boys club. They just rotate around different positions, but obviously all stay at the top. As far as I can see they are all very comfortable and are unlikely to move - why would they? Sometimes I fail to see what exactly they really do on a day to day basis. Apart from get paid lots. Back office teams have ridiculous numbers of managers/ directors. All looking out for themselves and very protective of their positions. Very poor gender/ HR policies and what they do have is often disregarded/ completely ignored. The company needs a reality check.

Focus on sales rather than service quality

Pros

Interesting and diverse projects and people. The firm is, for the most part, very engaged with clients and there is a legitimate passion for solving client problems.

Cons

Focus of the firm has moved swiftly toward a sales culture over quality of product. Even the most junior resources are expected to spend more time on sales. This means more expert time spent generating more need for services thus reducing capacity to deliver on those services, which make zero sense. And there is no indication they intend to hire more people to cope with this. The message from management has been to increase revenue and be more efficient while doing it. This increased burden is expected to be delivered by staff for no extra reward, because the money goes to the Partners who came up with this strategy. It has really widened the gap between regular staff and Partners. The admin processes are the definition of insanity. The firm tries to correct them by adding more admin processes.
