Cons
High turnover rate: "The high turnover rate."
Workload imbalances: "The hours and expectations can be very consuming, and sometimes the pressure of utilisation is a burden."
Inconsistent team dynamics: "Team dynamic, salaries, progression differs from team to team and depending on your manager."
Career progression: "The progression/promotion process is quite time-consuming and a lot of effort. There doesn't appear to be a lot of flexibility to finish your graduate role early"
Graduates on the same pay: "I don't think we do bonuses, and my last pay rise moved me to the same rate as all other 2nd year graduates, most of whom I have more experience. However, I did receive a mid-year pay rise last week, which I appreciate"
