      Pros

      - Good work/life balance in some line of business (if you are lucky)

      Cons

      - No proper training, expect to be thrown in the battlefield from the day one and do not expect to get any guidance form your manager, as he/she is too busy with the company's politics or simply too lazy. - High turn-over, employees feel unappreciated, more than 50% of my team members resigned. - No 360 degree for managers, so do not expect to be heard. - New CEO makes decisions that make no sense.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people: professional and smart yet fun, collaborative. it's OK to be yourself Good diversity Great IC Interesting projects Good work life balance

      Cons

      Build rather than buy talent management : constantly hiring outside company (rather than promoting) and overpaying for average talent. Especially problematic at senior levels...overpaid principals selling nothing... It is easier to leave and come back a couple of years to get to right (deserved) level of pay and role Low pay average benefits (except in US it seems) Constant staff turnover: expect a salary and recuitment freeze around April every year and redundancies in October and May.... Very conservative (risk averse, thank you Marsh, no innovation) and especially a problem for technology It's 2013 not 2007...are we tryning to sell technology to clients? time to get some modern technology in-house then Has a global mobility practice but sucks at relocating people. Lost many junior members of my team because to move them to a different market it took 2 years to get shitty offer (so they went to PWC who transfered them in 6 months). Shame because there are some great career opportunities that are untapped
