Pros

Potentially a good starting point for entry level candidates as you are exposed to a wide range of processes and projects within the sector. Lovely offices in London and Apsley.

Cons

-Low salary in comparison to their competitors. -Work culture - it is a hierarchal organisation and had experienced that it was very popularity based and cliquey. The environment serves more extroverted individuals and does not foster an environment or provide the same opportunities for those who are not as favoured. - Lack of communication and poor management. Communication from the company was poor regarding layoffs and structural changes. Communication was also poor from managers regarding performance and development and I had received little to no support. -The junior positions are admin/process led. If you would like to build your technical capacity this may not be the job for you.

Pros

Interesting projects; colleagues are all kind and hard working; opportunities to travel. Good place to see and experience how big projects are managed and delivered.

Cons

Death-by-admin; lower salaries; and a myriad of systems and processes slow everything down and numb the brain. You can feel detached from the project delivery on the ground. Ultimately, DAI is a management consultancy. In turn, the team recruited on the ground does all the interesting work, DAI's role is to manage everything behind-the-scenes. If you love pure project management (contracts, budgets, etc), then this is the place for you. If you're more technically minded, and interested in analysis and research, then it's maybe a good place to grab some experience, but not somewhere for you long-term.
