Pros
Excellent pay, empowered, trusted, valued, challenging work, focus on personal development and promotions. Our work makes a different to society. Varied work and client base. Growing business, lots of work and opportunities to make a difference. Flexibility to focus on what you like to do... You make it happen!
Cons
Those who do well embody want a consultant in engineering does. You have to have insight, recommendations, communicate with clients and support the business to win work (having great ideas and insights!!). Personally this enhances the fun but others just want "to do engineering".

Pros
- Far better WLB compared to other consultancies - Pretty good pay for hours worked
Cons
- Lots of resource augmentation work (not consulting)
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The work was pretty good fun. The company place a high degree of value on networking, and team members are very helpful (for the most part).
Cons
There are some serious diversity issues. I don't not say this lightly and it does pain me. There is diversity... but like a pint of Guinness - it is at the bottom. You are very unlikely to be promoted or feel at home unless your face fits (i.e. you have the right 'tone'), and furthermore, (I feel) there were incidents of HR actively screening applicants in a certain way. It can be argued they only seek the best candidates - but this is not the case, as there are plenty of unqualified people progressed purely because they are 'in' with seniors If this matters to you (let's face it, for many at PA, obviously this is not an issue), you are best to avoid the company.

Flexibility to share your own professional career
Cons
Salary improvement only through promotion (annual review)
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
True autonomy to select projects/activities which fit into your career goals with a supportive team to assist where necessary
Cons
Sometimes feels a little unclear how to reach next grade
