Pros

Management (begrudgingly) enabled hybrid working, post-covid. Most probably due to recruitment market conditions than a desire to improve work life balance.

Cons

This is without doubt the worst company I have ever worked for. Everything you see from the outside is all for show. It’s only when you leave cmspi do you truly understand just how dysfunctional the management is. It’s a constant race to the next dollar and no time is spent looking at better processes or how to manage without having a bullying/blame culture. There are redundancies every 3-6 months (…HUGE red flag!) and it’s always the analyst and marketing people that are first to go. This is why the company is constantly hiring for roles in these teams. Cmspi is no place for a university graduate. Retention from the graduate schemes is tiny. In my year and the previous year, there are only 2 or 3 still there from an intake of nearly 20. Grads are treated terribly and only serve to make the consultants look good. This is where some of the worst bullying takes place.

Pros

Access to high profile clients and work can be interesting

Cons

High staff turnover rate Toxic work culture Extremely long working hours are expected and unnecessary, usually due to a lack of organisational skills from more senior team members Lack of professional development opportunities No consideration for staff well-being

More of a cult than a business

Pros

If you commit your life to the company, there are opportunities to progress quickly. Exposure to big companies

Cons

I joined with 5 others (all grads but one) and there was only one left after 15 months- this is due to unrealistic expectations and poor management. CMSPI has private equity investment, meaning unsustainable growth targets putting everyone under huge pressure and creating an unhealthy working environment Training was not sufficient for the role
