Great place to work
|
|
Lots of development opportunities. Good involvement of and communication with staff at all levels by management. Interesting work with scope to pursue own professional interests.
|
Unpredictable nature of work can result in the need to put in very long hours around reporting pinch points.

Amazing people, ethical work, great opportunity in wider group
|
|
People are amazing to work with
Great training opportunities
Ethical work
Great opportunities (for consultants) for promotion and in wider group (for everyone)
Okay holidays, lots of sick pay, other benefits great too.
|
Tendency to get pigeon-holed from past experience, but there is an environment to speak up about your concerns about yourself and company if you are confident enough.

'Boutique' consultancy that punches above its weight!
|
|
The firm has a great client list - everyone from the NHS, to Innovate UK and the Arts Council, so there's room to have a varied experience. They're open to new ideas and work hard to provide a breadth of work to people at all grades. Management (at office and firm level) are approachable and friendly - the firm is small enough to feel like a community, but big enough to always have interesting work for everyone to muck in on!
|
Training is very good, but can be unstructured and led through 'doing' or 'asking'. Most colleagues are open to help and support at all times, so this isn't a major issue. As with all consultancy businesses, workload comes and goes so there can be 'pinch points' occasionally - senior colleagues do their best to ensure they take the heat for these where possible.

Very good
|
|
Great company - produce high quality reports, interesting project work across a wide range of sectors, good opportunities to gain wide range of research and project management skills working on several projects at any given time.
|
No major negatives.
(I worked at the firm for many years pre-2013 but it was not possible to select any dates earlier than 2013 on Glassdoor).

Dull, dispiriting place to work
|
|
Interesting projects, working on multiple projects develops and enhances skills in research and analysis.
|
Hierarchical structure (some directors were so lazy, they would let consultants do all the work but would offer them no acknowledgement when the final report was written), awful office atmosphere (passive aggression), management style that leaves little to be desired (in my experience it was not an encouraging style, but a critical, accusatory approach), snobbish atmosphere. No time taken to develop staff.

Serious overhaul needed, get rid of the stuffy hierarchical structure, treat your employees as individuals deserving of praise and acknowledgement. Inject some life into the dull atmosphere.

Excellent experience for your CV
|
|
Varied interesting, high profile projects (look great on CV)
Intelligent, stimulating colleagues. Graduates learn a lot in a short space of time
Commitment to quality and excellent reputation
Ethical company
|
Culture - competitive/ individualistic (i.e. lack of team culture) staff must be proactive to get work / sell yourself internally
High staff turnover (except directors)
Inverted structure (company has more senior than junior staff)
Low pay by industry standards and low reward for lack of work-life balance
