Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

A good graduate job but 5 years was too long
Pros: Global reach, Big clients and projects, some excellent people and opportunities
Cons: Projects are over-sold and under-delivered to the point of embarrassment.  Internal processes are awful, and the tools (laptop, phone, software etc.) given to employees are outdated. The company constantly changes its structure causing mass confusion.  Bonus has been pitiful in recent years.  Line managers may have no connection to the employee whatsoever but yet are responsible for their end of year rating.  It is expected that consultants will travel 100% of their working lives, much of which could be avoided with sensible working practices and appropriate tooling.
