Pros

Some decent benefits, including healthcare

Cons

Targets set at 95% productivity for junior and mid level staff, meaning all team meetings, project bid work (which can take days), project overruns, any training you want to do and anything else outside client work has to be done in under 2 hours a week. This means that your contracted hours are a joke, and people end up working 70+ hours per week. It would not be unusual to get an email from a colleague in the wee hours over the weekend. You can be let go from your job for not keeping pace with these hours. Some of the management in consulting in Dublin are very old school in their treatment of staff and can be very difficult to work with, to the point of bullying.

Pros

Decent benefits such as pension and healthcare Flexibility in working from home

Cons

Below market salary Ulitization driven (staff made to feel like a number) Good staff are overworked while weak staff are let away with doing little to nothing. No benefit in working hard as weak staff and strong staff get equally reimbursed, as all staff are just a number. Poor career progression. Little to no communication from management to see are staff satisfied. High failure rate for professional memberships due to lack of support. Cash driven, the second your utilization drops your job is in jeopardy.
