Pros
- Travelling to onsite client offices, good exposure to working in different environment - Lots to learn with their in-house data quality tools - Small organisation, company events, social gathering, paid events, lunches and dinners - Good for new graduates to gain some consultant experience
Kontras
- Small company, very high goals - Unstructured management - Lack of HR department - Lack of directions and mentoring for new hires, lack of trust between employees - Easy to get consumed and become a target of internal office gossiping. Strongly avoid. Too many strict office behaviours to follow to abide with the office "culture". Working from home is highly looked down and is recommended against unless you're 1 year old in the company. Entry. exits to and from the office are closely monitored by a few staff in the office. Expect to be either micro-managed or not managed at all. Variation of behaviours and moods can be expected off people. Typical cut-through, result-driven, consultant environment. - Small office, therefore, more expectations w.r.t contributing towards the small office space and team building activities. Everything little act is noted. - North American sales are run by a handful of employees only - New and junior consultants aren't given a chance only after 6-8 months in the job. - Lack of structured training programs, contrary to what is portrayed in the interview - Expect below average pay-scale and conditional bonuses/raises - Company sheds employees, whether new or old, very quickly. Management can take actions in streamlining of resources when they feel it is appropriate to; with or without cause.
