Gets to design stuff from the start. If you like project management-type of work -go for it. Personally, I prefer design, so I let my team leader know that. Whenever something interesting comes up, he lets me know and checks if I might be interested in being involved.

  • Global network, an opportunity to work on large-scale projects, competitive pay and lots of fieldwork.

  • Growth prospects, I am consistently guided on the best ways to grow and develop in my role. I have involvement in a variety of projects of different sizes with great autonomy, allowing me to learn quickly.

Cons

    • IT support is slow

    • As a smaller office in a large company, it often feels like we are left out from the rest of the company and that there can be a disconnect at times.

    • Hot desking - would be nice to have designated areas for the teams (as in the 10 desks here are all for X team)

    • Unpredictability of hours during projects however this is the nature of consulting.

    • A lot of work
