Pros

Restaurants are great, HQ is overall a cool place to work. Canary Wharf is a lovely place so it's not too bad from that perspective.

Cons

I worked in a small service line dedicated to digital transformation within the FS sector. The leadership team is terrible. Lots of backstabbing going around and very incompetent people when it comes to winning any actual new business. Their proposals seem like something out of a 1990's bad sales playbook, making it nearly impossible to win RFPs. I wish I never moved from industry to this particular service line, as the onboarding was lousy, particularly given the complete lack of support given to those who have worked in consulting before. Based on my experience, I do not recommend AT ALL for anyone to join them.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
