Terrible culture and senior partners

Pros

- Partners are available for questions

Cons

- "blaming" culture and doesnt feel like an inclusive team mentality while working - Majority of work is due diligence in Telcos and you get no say in what project you are put on despite what they say - no HR processes or visibility - one person for all of UK and that was never enough - Very little chance of success as an experienced hire in a culture that is driven by junior hires as analysts - non-existent female representation in manager and above ranks

Pros

- Great for telco work - Some colleagues are very friendly, smart, and great to work with. - Compensation is matching (and in some cases exceeding) Tier-2 consultancies. Bonuses are great for SC and above.

Cons

- Some managers (esp. the ones who have been at the firm for >3yrs) can showcase the attributes of a bully and make life really difficult for new joiners. Culture can be toxic. - Since most of the work is due diligence, the firm as a whole is highly sensitive to the macroeconomics. - No brand outside certain PEs. Even top consultancies haven't heard of Altman Solon, which can be a roadblock when looking for an exit. - HR is invisible, with almost no processes and workflows. - Hours can be gruelling as most of the work is due diligence.
