Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Hard work, low pay, poor leadership
Pros: Varied range of clients - to be expected, given size of company.  Industry-standard benefits. Flexi-working tolerated  (though this is a double-edged sword, as work life bleeds into home life).
Cons: Crazy hours, low pay, low bonuses, top tiers (partner/director) highly protected with blurry career progression path, on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Even at associate director/new director level, effective hourly rate much lower than a position with equivalent responsibility in industry. Manageable if you're single, don't need or want life outside of work, or have a highly traditional home life where you bear no significant responsibilities outside of working. Leadership team blissfully unaware of continued resource pressure and tends to ignore underwhelming internal "barometers". Not recommended.
