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.

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

- Some of the work can be very interesting. - The firm does a bit of everything. - Global presence. - Everyone was very good people and easy to work with.

Cons

- Culture prioritizes individual areas of "expertise" over collective efforts resulting in a stiff and slow pace of work. The "One Firm" motto is not practiced. - Politics remains king for career advancement. - Junior employees get no visibility and their ideas are discarded very easily. Innovation is almost non existent.

Extremely low pay

Pros

Some projects are exciting, some people are nice

Cons

Will make you do work that is way out of your pay grade and overtime. Not even an ounce of appreciation for people who actually do the ground work. And financially struggling?
