Mixed bag
Pros: Some amazing people, good managers among the bad, training contract, good name on CV
Cons: Working hours are ridiculous for the pay, being at the mercy of clients, big disparity between what the partners think goes on and what actually goes on, partners setting unrealistic deadlines, managers become so obsessed with meeting deadlines that they lose touch with reality and become slave drivers (eg manager calling at 11pm on a Friday to ask for a piece of work to be completed). The culture can be quite toxic, there’s a sense that if you leave you ‘weren’t up to it’ or are somehow weak.
