Business Development Consultant GBU
Pros: The only reason why I kept my sanity is because of my awesome colleagues. There is good camaraderie in my team and on the GBU floor in general. International and young atmosphere.

Good life work balance, start at 8:30 and leave at 5pm. This means you get to have a life outside of this terrible job.
Cons: - Getting in a GBU that works is a complete crap shoot. If you are going for Primavera or Financial Services you will be alright, all the rest is terrible and you will just be fighting against the system

- Self service system is a joke

-Management is really poor. There are two managers for the GBU BDCs, one of which is a micromanager who likes to control your every move and push you over the edge, while the other is really nice and approachable. I sincerely hope you get the latter if you are crazy enough to go for GBU

-Everybody leaves. The best people try to get out of the company, as the progression is slow and basically just about politics.

-Senior management is basically non existant
