Consulting (pros and cons)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Great benefits and competitive salaries 2. Very good/ developed career tracks 3. Good opportunities for career development 4. Lots of great, talented staff 5. Great technical resources (staff and training materials)

Cons

1. Too much change - mergers, changing goals, loss of great employees 2. Too much focus on corporate and not enough local focus - managers have to worry too much about answering to corporate and not enough time answering to local personnel needs/morale 3. They often set the bar too high. Don't get me wrong it's great to push for success but you can't always expect success 4. Hard to maintain work life balance 5. Like most consulting jobs sometimes can be very demanding (time and otherwise) 6. Too focused on yesterday's numbers and less focused on the outcomes and future

Lots of opportunities for the self motivated

Graduate project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of training and development opportunities for young professionals including RICS/CIOB/APM training and sponsorship. There are also a number of internal development initiatives aimed at career development within the business. Opportunity to work with big clients and commissions very early in your career and support for ensuring you are developing all areas professionally.

Cons

It is a large organisation and it can become easy to fall through the cracks if you are not driving your own career actively. The merger has also not fully taken hold yet meaning there is some fragmentation between legacy companies. Also pay is not that competitive but it is made up through training and other opportunities which the company will sponsor.
