Productive work place but could be more fun
Associate Director (Former Employee) - Dublin - 10 March 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThis is a good place to work and to have a work experience.There are exceptional leaders in this organization and people getting promoted are very talented.Indeed, you are learning a lot, getting good exposure to certain industries and gathering fantastic experience. But it can become repetitive after some time.If you don't make it to senior level, I feel you will get a better work/life balance and a better pay in the industry.
Pros
Beautiful building, work location in city centre and facilities (Canteen, Gym and work stations)
Cons
Hard to progress

Poor management and culture
Senior Associate (Former Employee) - Dublin - 18 February 2021
Little to no support from management. Advancement is very unfair and men seem to be advanced a lot more often than women. Little opportunity to work across teams or gain other types of work experience. HR were terrible at handing any issues and were very insensitive. People lower on the hierarchy were not respected or treated like human beings. Work-life balance and mental heath was not taken seriously at all. Toxic culture and workplace environment. I did have some class co-workers and peers though who made the workplace a little better but unless you are director or partner level I would highly recommend staying away from this place.
Pros
Nice co-workers lots of younger employees
Cons
Too many to count

False Advertising
Audit and Assurance Administrator (Former Employee) - Dublin - 10 November 2020
Said there would be full training provided, there was only a small amount of training that didn't cover everything even the most technical complex parts of the job, plus little to no documentation provided in order for you to learn, and completely ignore your request for proper further mentoring when being vocal about it. Plus rude colleagues and management. Only good thing anout it was the salary, but not worth it otherwise.
Pros
Nice building, handy location, good salary
Cons
No full proper traning given, rude co-workers/management

Big talk, little walk
Consultant (Former Employee) - Ireland - 13 October 2020
A lot of strategic waffle but little evidence of it. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Going down the path of all other consultancies with utilisation. Take the promises of the cool work you'll be doing with a pinch of salt. HR is hopeless, absolutely hopeless. You better be highly skilled going in as you're on your own. Coaching culture? Pah! Nice cafe though.

Nice company but difficult environment
Risk Consultant (Current Employee) - Dublin - 18 May 2020
The company is nice, the office in Dublin is great, anyway the salary is not competitive, low perks, and the internal transfers like moving to another team or to another office location are very difficult.

Vulture enablers
Plant Consultant (Former Employee) - Cork - 17 November 2019
Just chase their fees. No compassion nor understanding of the stress the financial recession placed on people. Full of young pups chasing credit. Not my type of company but synonomous of modern financial companies

Some wonderful people & also a small number of clueless people
People are mostly professional and diligent. Partners are great, but too disconnected from different levels. Allows some clueless people to screen & filter information going up to partners. Messages get misinterpreted, content gets diluted and opportunities are lost. Shame really, as partners are quite sharp, but make strange decisions based on poor interpretation of information by some of the ADs/D's who just don't understand content. Reluctantly left as unable to make a meaningful impact.

Productive and collaborative workplace
Internship program in Audit and Pensions (Former Employee) - Dublin - 3 September 2019
As part of the Audit and Assurance team, I got to grips with a wide range of industries, from financial services, aviation, hospitality to not-for-profit. I got the chance to work off-site and gained essential operational skills, as well as getting to know the client inside-out.

Supportive and encouraging work environment
Media & Entertainment Senior (Former Employee) - Dublin - 28 April 2017
I worked as part of the Media & Entertainment team and can't praise them highly enough. Both the partner and director were fair to everyone ensuring all people had a work life balance.
Working to deadlines was required as part of the job but the team atmosphere made this a pleasant and supportive place to work.
