* If you join the company in a consulting role, the management staff stops regarding you as a person, but as a product instead. The level of disregard for the consultants' well-being, despite them being the only source of revenue, is staggering.
* Engaging with support staff (e.g. HR) is often redundant, as they merely offer standardised responses with no bespoke consideration within ridiculously long timescales.
* In my entire career I have not been made aware of anyone in the industry being paid even close to as little as FDM consultants in their first two years of employment, even if I were to include the claimed value of the academy training.
