Pros
1) Really flexible setup with 3–4 days a week working from home, which is probably the biggest perk, with management following the same approach so no extra pressure to be in 2) Very little/no micromanagement, which is good. Most people are down to earth, and easy to get along with — very few egos 3) Annual bonuses paid but much lower than industry standards
Cons
1) Annual payrises and bonuses are very low (usually around 1–3% each and this aligns with others), far below other comparable companies especially in Financial Services and Compliance 2) Progression is promised within a 6–12 month timeline but it gets delayed, with reasons changing each time, even if objectives are met, projects and audits completed successfully 3) Promotions are inconsistent — some people progress multiple times while other high performers get overlooked, which has led to large turnover especially in last 2 years in various different teams 4) Associate and Senior Associate level, there’s the expectation to take on Manager-level responsibilities without little/no increase in pay, so more workload and pressure 5) Travel budgets have been cut a lot Year on Year (especially with teams all over UK and Ireland), and team socials/events are non-existent
