Pros

Work life balance is good. Benefits are above average for the UK. Generally relaxed & informal culture. Values driven organisation e.g. sustainability.

Cons

Doesn't pay well. You won't get on if your face doesn't fit. Development opportunities can differ significantly depending on what you do, how senior you are and which area of the business you work in.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
