Employment status: current

Overworked , underpaid - its changed a lot in 10 years
Pros: Prestigious name, good training - good audit methodology, people are nice to deal with on a day to day basis.  Flexible working is great and its good to get out and see your clients every day - its a nice balance of being in the office, on-site at clients and the odd day working from home.  Good place to train - a bit like high school for adults if you like that kind of environment.
Cons: no work life balance, over worked, underpaid, badly organised and under resourced not enough in the budget which means that giving 150% becomes the norm and expected instead of seen as 'going the extra mile'...lots of lip service from senior management/.... the performance system in place encourages people to use each other and those who get promoted tend to be good back scratchers with others.....the people who are rising to the top are not the kind of people I respect and I want to get out before the future becomes the now.
