Communication Gaps: There is a lack of clear communication from management regarding salary policies and changes, causing confusion and dissatisfaction.

      Poor benefits designed to satisfy only bare minimum legal requirements, basic health insurance. Basic salary is 60% of total package so terminal benefits are low. Lack of leadership and progression transparency

      No opportunity for progression - not recommended for people early in their career

      Management consultant
      Current employee
      London, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Interesting projects but how easy it is to resource onto projects that interest you depends on your team - some teams take a very personal approach, some let you take control of your own resourcing, others just assign you with minimal consultation.

      Cons

      The pay is poor and the promotion processes are arbitrary. There’s a framework for progression but you can tick every box, and more, having the support of your manager and others, and a tonne of evidence to back your case… and you still won’t be promoted with no explanation. If you do get promoted, it will be such a small payrise that you wish you’d stayed performing at the Grade below. Nobody ever gives constructive feedback - there’s an internal feedback system but no one ever says anything negative - so you’ll get glowing feedback and be left wondering why you’re still not progressing.
