Redundancies a plenty
Pros: Good training courses in the first half of the year. Exceptional co-workers. Big ticket clients and projects. Career opportunities for graduates are great if you don't mind getting underpaid for years.
Cons: Round after round of redundancies while they are battling to restructure and embed their new strategy. Current morale is very very low. EXTREME focus on billable utilisation hours with push for 110%+ utliisation (reflected in performance metrics). Experienced (and hence more expensive) consultants are the first to be made redundant leaving an inexperienced workforce. Pays well under market rates for specialised consultants.
