Challenging engagements but breadth of variety of clients and industries is the best aspect of the job.
Pros: - Variety of clients and sectors
- There is always more not chargeable work that you can pick up I.e internal proposition development, onboarding and coaching juniors as well as proposals
- Good level of investment in training (Risk Assurance, Technology Data and Analytics)
- Good pay comparable to non consulting industries
- Rapid upskilling is encouraged and done very well across the organisation
- Good interaction and viability with leadership
Cons: - work life balance can be difficult to maintain
- annual and off cycle promotion cycles are a plus but politics can play a large part
- significant amount of 'carrot chasing' when you are looking to get to manager, in typically very competitive experienced Senior Associate pool
- training nomination can be frustrating
- heightened focus on MI such as utilisation, chargeable hours etc
