Pros

Restaurants are great, HQ is overall a cool place to work. Canary Wharf is a lovely place so it's not too bad from that perspective.

Cons

I worked in a small service line dedicated to digital transformation within the FS sector. The leadership team is terrible. Lots of backstabbing going around and very incompetent people when it comes to winning any actual new business. Their proposals seem like something out of a 1990's bad sales playbook, making it nearly impossible to win RFPs. I wish I never moved from industry to this particular service line, as the onboarding was lousy, particularly given the complete lack of support given to those who have worked in consulting before. Based on my experience, I do not recommend AT ALL for anyone to join them.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
