Pros
- The fast-paced, self-learning environment forces you to figure things out on your own - which can actually help juniors build skills quickly
Cons
- The environment pushes for speed over substance, leading to deliverables that feel unfinished and lack real depth. Constant firefighting, unclear direction, and last-minute pivots mean work is produced reactively rather than thoughtfully, undermining the value a consultancy should provide.
- Unpaid overtime is normalized. Working late into the evening is treated as standard practice, and boundary-setting is implicitly discouraged.
- The glossy “no-consultants consultancy” branding hides the fact that there is little real expertise behind the scenes. People with minimal experience or no leadership ability are routinely placed in roles where they must lead teams, which inevitably results in chaos, unclear direction, and a level of stress that no healthy workplace should normalize.
- For a company that has existed for years, the absence of processes, know-how, and operational structure is striking. The high turnover wipes out any knowledge legacy, forcing teams to operate in constant crisis mode.
