Pros

Learnt some good skills and got exposure to some great client and work. Good to have on your resume as a global firm.

Cons

The people...typical hierarchical structure. Juniors are treated (and therefore act like) children. Micromanaged. Expected to work 12hrs a day to make billables (6hrs) due to write offs from more senior staff. Bullies galore. Supposedly flexible but in reality not even close. Don’t get me started on their diversity policy. Just for social media purposes.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
