Pros

Occasionally interesting work, good learning curve, pushes you

Cons

Too long to list all. Tocix work culture (and I don't mean hours or pressure). Ridiculous company, rude, gossipy, political - the 101 of what makes companies a bad place to work are pretty much all ticked. On top of that, their leadership is overly delusional, arrogant and disconnected - this holds in comparison to the traditional consulting houses

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms the hours, pay and level of difficulty isn't bad, of course, depending on the project. Central London location is great. People are friendly, yet the majority not very ambitious.

Cons

Despite great international expansion and ambition, I found the though leadership rather weak. On daily projects there is hardly any originality, with outdated contents being recycled and repackaged all the time. Culture is not really lived through every day, but is rather a collection of desirable, yet not actively practised behaviours. There are a few large accounts in London, however most of the work tends to be tedious small projects with limited learning opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good amount of training provided in-house and great exposure to several different research methodologies. Good way to build a foundation in market research, looks great on a resume. Co-workers for the most part are wonderful and easy to work with. Nice amount of vacation days.

Cons

Promotions are extremely political. Better hope you land on the 'right' team. More often than not its members of a specific team that are the ones getting promoted while others who aren't as fortunate to be with the 'in-crowd' are continuously passed up for promotions over and over despite excellent work. Buddying up to the right senior leader will get you much further than quality work - favoritism at it's finest.
