Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Good foundation for career beginnings but difficult to progress at senior level
Pros: Wide variety of work and projects to choose from (different industries and sectors, different transactions, opportunity for business development work even at a junior level)
Internal moves and overseas secondments are highly encouraged
Lots of investment in training & development
Flexibility of working hours during downtimes
Cons: High degree of unpredictability in workload (little visibility over future projects and workload due to transaction-based projects). Not for those who prefer a stable life.  
High tendency for partners/directors to be reactive towards client needs, even if demands are unreasonable
Lacking investment in IT infrastructure (PC specs are too low to open multiple spreadsheets and documents without crashing!)
