Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to diverse client base across Asia Pacific, allows travel to cover the region and secondment. Great training ground across a vast array of services.

Cons

Very rigid remuneration policy and limited bonus potential until you hit Principal. Feel over-achievers are not sufficiently rewarded. Cost control over the past 4 years makes covering the region difficult, no business class until 9 hours.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was at upper end of industry

Cons

they hire temps constantly , telling you they want to hire permanently, but no one makes it.out of almost 20 of us in one class no one made it past 5 months. If the phones slow down a little they run you out the door. then everyone complains how shorthanded they are. The hours canbe long and seemingly without purpoe, several of my colleagues would sit fo rhours at night without a call, but having to "look busy."
