Experience level: Junior

Good place to start if all else fails
Pros: Work life balance is good, short hours in comparison to the likes of Accenture
Good variety of projects and clients
Some (although limited) opportunities to travel
Good self promotion process (when freezes aren't in place)
Graduate induction was fun
Cons: Poor culture, a huge focus on 'being 100% billable' at the moment which results in a very negative feel. Due to 13+ declining quarters of revenues there has been continuous promotion freezes, statutory redundancies, holiday bans  and training bans. There is never a 'Thank you' at the end, the bonus scheme is abysmal and although the starting salary is good it doesn't remain competitive. The technology we use internally is so outdated as well which is extremely ironic.
