Pros

I have worked as an analyst at Wallbrook for nearly two years. I have found the work to be incredibly stimulating and rewarding, and have been given ample opportunity to engage with various parts of the business. Management is genuinely encouraging of feedback from junior staff, and generously rewards hard work. I am particularly pleased with how Wallbrook has handled the Covid-19 pandemic. Management has maintained a high level of transparency regarding the pandemic's impacts on the business and the resultant policies put in place. Employee well-being has been the priority of these policies, as evidenced by the fact that no redundancies have been made at Wallbrook during the pandemic.

Cons

Client demands can sometimes make for a suboptimal work/life balance. The learning curve can be steep for recent graduates, though new joiners undergo one-on-one training in order to be able to adjust to a commercial environment.

Pros

Wallbrook is an ethical firm and does right by its employees. It got through covid without ANY redundancies. When temporary pay cuts were initiated, senior staff took them first and took a higher cut than junior staff – the cuts were all eventually repaid in full. It is also the only firm in its sector to be b-corp certified. The work itself is stimulating and rewarding to anyone interested in international affairs and research. Senior management really cares about their employees and there are lots of opportunities for growth! The firm also gives extremely generous annual bonuses.

Cons

Like most professional services firms at the moment, Wallbrook is working mostly remotely, which has its limitations. However there are plans to return to in person work as soon as it is safe to do so.

Pros

Quality of the work and clients is high. There aren't many egos - the continuity of staff means a lot of knowledge is shared and passed down to more junior staff and people who join from other companies in the industry.

Cons

The company was recently sold. It's not a con but it's starting to become more corporate with more bureaucracy. Decisions seem to take longer to make.
