Pros

None - be mentally prepared for the worst

Cons

- Managers WITHOUT ANY managerial skills to manage a team. To the partners, Open your EYES and look at HOW they manage NOT only clients but staff. - PROFIT over everything - Low pay, long hours - TOXIC CULTURE on the floor (please look at it yourself instead of relying on people feeding you information and reports) - Good, hardworking people LEAVE quick. This is a RED FLAG ignored - Lack of appreciation and understanding - Flexibility is NON EXISTENT across all levels. I understand it is JUST FOR PUBLICITY - ONLY INCONSISTENCIES in the team - NO-VALUE for different perspectives/thinking. You WILL only SUCCEED if you are a GOOD follower who BLINDLY follows. -

Quite an unhealthy place

Pros

It’s a decent mid-tier firm to have on resume. You learn a lot. Nice office. It has a room you can go cry in.

Cons

Work/life balance is an absolute joke. Lots of lip service. They’ll tell you to your face that they’re happy with you and your performance but then belittle you and speak negatively behind your back. Lots of great people left because of toxic management. Highly competitive and if you have any responsibilities outside of dedicating 100% of your life to work you will not get ahead.

Pros

There is nothing good here don't waste your time

Cons

Micro management at managerial and above levels to people down the food chain. Leaders with no leadership skills and direction. Work-life balance and flexibility only on paper but not actually present at all. Partners and business that cares more about profit and revenue above anything else - can do anything to ensure profits and money ahead of staff. Resources are not in the right place - eg Non client facing cost centres are expanding for no real reason People do not genuinely caring about you - many people are fake Extremely hierarchical - partners/managers are very narrow in their outlook. I'd say good luck if you have any ideas that you want to push through below manager level. Nothing will happen and they won't listen. High turnover - P&C say things have been done to address issues. Reality since 2017 to this day, NOTHING has been done. Blow the trumpets and hire all sorts of P&C but NOTHING in reality - only on paper maybe? Just so they can justify more P&C nuts
