Interesting work , nice people, average pay

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Interesting work but not much progression or pay

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are lovely and it is a good company to start a career. Teams tend to be flexible with work-life balance

Cons

What is expected of you can be a lot. Some senior people are not that competent and drag down teams. Not much career progression after a few years and pay could be better given what is expected of employees. The company has been encountering some financial problems, which unfortunately feeds into all the problems mentioned above.
