Pros
- lots of opportunities to produce interesting and impactful analysis and work on high-profile consulting projects - encouraged to develop thematic expertise - generally great analyst teams to work with - flexible and remote working, which is excellent
Kontras
- pay is generally lower than competing businesses, there are some discrepancies around pay levels for people with the same job title/level of experience, and lack of transparency around pay bands. - the ability to progress with the company is inconsistent across teams, with some individuals quickly moving up the ladder and others left behind - experiences vary widely in terms of management, with the quality of the work you produce meaning very little to some in senior positions, who are more impressed with smoke and mirrors. - high staff turnover with no replacements for critical roles, resulting in understaffed teams and an increased reliance on outsourcing as opposed to investing in employees. - over-reliance on corporate speak. - long-winded progress to publish reports or insights, with significant differences in the quality and depth of reviews depending on the analyst.
