Pros
- Exposure to interesting projects - Great people - Good soft benefits (i.e., well stocked kitchen)
Kontras
- A well-established ‘Long Hours Hero’ culture that is juvenile and unsustainable. It will only continue to maintain the high turnover of talented staff - A bonus scheme that is unfair and, in my experiences, below industry standard - Ad hoc project scope resulting in almost certain scope creep - Project managers plan to keep employees back late prior to commencing a project - A business development culture that too often centres around making money off clients, rather than making money for clients - Take any Glassdoor five start rating with a grain of salt as they are most likely written by Directors/Principals/HR with strong intentions of making the company appearing as an attractive place to work at. This opinion is not wide spread, particularly amongst the troops at the front line who are grinding out the work and only take home a small fraction of their overly inflated charge out rates
