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!

Pros

Worked on some high profile cases with top firms.

Cons

Lies, Lies, and more Lies, The first year bonus was decent. I got cheated out of the 2nd year bonus and then I left. I was told that my billables were great but I needed to bring in more business.

Pros

Descent Pay and bonus and medical benefits

Cons

Crazy, insane working hours. Just when you think you are billing more than what they ask for, you are required to bring in new business. That's sales on top of billing crazy hours.

Pros

The breadth and depth of client issues we work with is great. Also the team vibe and work life balance are above par.

Cons

Does not have competitive salary/bonus and has no interest in changing. Keep saying “we have to cut costs, so no raises or bonuses this year” while showing strong margins.

Pros

- Interesting projects and clients - International exposure - Great team culture (depending on your team)

Cons

- Bonus got slashed due to group structure change (which led to our group not hitting the target, even though our department did) - Political at the top, old boys club. - Firm is not run by professionals and business leaders - instead it's run by all the old boys (ie. former intelligence/military folk (who are great at what they do but not really at runnning business)

Pros

- great bunch of guys on the teams - get paid on your time off - clients are reasonable and down to earth

Cons

- management don’t look after those under them - no bonus or pay rises - long hours 12hr days usually. - no scope for promotion unless time served - HR are terrible at replying, if you get a reply at all. - low wage considering other companies out there doing the same jobs in the same location. - lots of older generation which creates a slower working environment. - lots of unnecessary movement of teams and individuals on teams. - bad organisation by senior management for taskings. - people leave far too regular due to no change or addressing issues by the senior management. - jobs taken on a ‘friends get the job’ basis instead of who’s best for the job. - travel time comes out of your leave.
