Pros
- You get to work on a much wider range of clients, industries, and problems than most consultancies would allow. Work is intellectually challenging, and is focused on making an actual change, you challenge FTSE100 C level clients, their business models and approach to innovation from startup perspective - Extremely intelligent team from diverse backgrounds both personally and professionally - people who built and exited companies, worked at early stage startups, VCs, corporates, other consultancies - Very little downtime between projects, you’re pretty much always staffed, which means fast personal development. Easy to get involved in other initiatives realated to Founders Forum - FI is part of Founders Forum group, which is the best-connected entrepreneurial ecosystem in the UK if not Europe. All Founders Forum group companies share one office, which means you end up spending time with a super diverse group of people – founders, investors, operators, engineers, experts etc. The exposure and reputation in tech is very unique
Cons
The company is growing and changing very fast, so the processes and the support infrastructure is not fully set, which means there is less of traditional formal training and more learning-by-doing, which might not be for everyone
