Pros

- Most colleagues are great and highly intelligent - Most clients have interesting challenges - Relatively flexible working environment

Cons

- The work lacks integrity - much of the work is cookie-cutter and based on little information or expertise. The bulk of the work is compliance related and incredibly dull. - The company is a bit of an old boys club, a lot of information is unnecesarily kept from colleagues and staff - Bonuses are low and incredibly complex - no relationship to your own or even your team's work but the entire company's success. - Salaries low compared to other consultancies

Pros

Some of the managers of the company are very good. Less toxic work culture compared to other companies in the industry. Good parties. Best firm for people with British nationality, they tend to stay at the company the longest particularly Caucasian males. - You may find some of your best colleagues and friends at this firm. Generally the lower and mid level staff is outstanding.

Cons

1. The company has not paid bonuses in last two years. 2. Salary hikes are meger. Will not even cover inflation. So working for this company will make you relatively poorer for sure. 3. The company has delayed promotions of some long serving staff for years over one pretext or the other. 4. They reward mediocrity. Often mediocre and servile individuals are promoted and rewarded. Doesn't matter how much you work, you peer with better connections with management will get rewarded. 5. Dozens of people across Asia left the company without having a job offer in hand because they were so angry being denier proper remuneration and career progress. They lost the best talent in a matter of 2 years 6. Business Intelligence and Fraud & Forensics teams literally sweatshops where people work all day and all night, yet they don't get rewarded for that work. 7. HR is highly unprofessional and clueless about everything. They will definitely try to underpay you. 8. The regional CEO and Group CEOs are both a bit of a joke in the company.

Pros

- International work environment - Friendly colleagues

Cons

- Incredible amount of broken promises from interview process - No salary increases, even to balance inflation; - No transparency (e.g. bonus scheme was halved for all employees without any communication on that point - the year before, bonuses were cancelled completely) - There's senior employees and people with less than 2 years experience. Everyone leaves because it is such a badly run business
