Leading Professional Services firm with range of opportunities and challenges
Pros: Globally recognised firm with generally good people who are keen to get the right work/ life balance. in my experience the firm is flexible to people's lives, but of course will want their pound of flesh at times- though this is rewarded with the autonomy to have downtime when things are quieter. Career progression is largely in your own hands- people will help you if you put your hand up and shout about what you want. benefits are reasonable but definitely not the best out there.
Cons: Internal politics can be frustrating, and partnership can be a bit of an old boys network in places. Promotions are a combination of hard work, good luck and timing, and as they only happen yearly it can feel like it takes time to progress. Performance Management and reward system is not overly transparent.
