Pros
At TI you benefit from the friendly, supportive environment of a small consultancy whilst getting to work directly with huge global organizations. The nature of projects and management styles differ depending on which account you work on, but if you are proactive you can seize exciting opportunities when they arise and drive your own career growth. Hard work and ambition is rewarded both in terms of compensation and career progression. Although TI is far from a traditional recruitment consultancy, most roles do involve a heavy proportion of headhunting with some exceptions when clients request special research projects. However it's the long-term, close collaboration with clients that sets TI apart and this experience can lead to more mainstream consultancy roles in the future if desired.
Cons
Internal promotions can be limited to titles rather than bringing new responsibilities, until you get to a senior level within the company. Training is offered but it tends to be specific to TI rather than widely recognized.
