Uppers

“The variety of work, opportunities to lead, and team spirit.”

“You receive exposure to many different sectors and are constantly challenged, the pay is quite decent, and the location is quite central.”

“Compensation, lifestyle, exit opportunities.”

“Colleagues, interesting project work. Strong pay given work-life balance.”

Downers

“The hours and differing work styles from manager to manager.”

“Demanding work, hours can be long, clients can be difficult.”

“Inconsistent policies between offices. What applies in London HQ might not apply in other offices, which can and has been, at times, disappointing.”

“Hours, resourcing constraints, and the firm’s brand being behind larger, more established firms.”
