Pros

- Great opportunity to work with big companies, - Very good diversity content, - Above-average pay for some,

Cons

- Very transactional leadership which uses their staff without caring about them, - Leadership constantly looks at how to overload their staff, - Staff do not get support or training but get constantly overloaded with new pieces of work, - Constant calls and emails past 6 pm and constant pressure from Leadership to work past 6 pm (I personally worked overnight more than once), - Very vague definition of success and the goal post is constantly moved, - Leadership overworks staff and does not practice what they preach in their diversity, psychology and mindfulness workshops in fostering a healthy company culture, - Toxic culture where Leadership has on more than one occasion left staff in tears, - Staff occasionally deliver and hear some overwhelming points in sessions and are not offered any psychological safety or support post session, - Massive churn in staff (staff do not stay long), - Leadership is overly focused on money and there is no care regarding staff mental health (many sessions have ended with staff in tears without support),

Pros

Ethical approach to work-life balance High expectations and demands, but fair in approach to rewarding success and challenging mistakes.

Cons

There is a lot of work for few people. Clients can demand from a few people as if we were a Big Four firm.

Pros

-This is a high-purpose organisation with the benefits to our clients and society being apparent to us daily. -There are no uncertainties in what our expectations are as team members with clear OKRs and SOPs, values and principles - We are actively told to ensure we do not work over our hours - and if we do, we are told to make sure we take the time back. -Our holiday allowance is generous, and there are limited restrictions on when we can take it. -New, proposed working methods are regularly shared with the wider team for comment, ensuring we all have a voice in our operations. - There are regular opportunities for non-delivery team members to observe client-facing sessions upon our request. - This is a remote-first company with opportunities to meet face-to-face as a team for work and socialising. We also meet at the beginning of each week to catch up on our weekend, give shout-outs to team members and talk about our week ahead. -This is a passionate team, who really care about what we do.

Cons

Small, client-facing companies are not for everyone- you are visible, you must be high-performing, and you must want to show up to support your teammates. But in return, you get exposure to a wide range of business areas, and the work we do with our clients, that you wouldn't in larger companies or teams.
