      Pros

      Staff discounts, close to train, decent salary and apart of the Westfields Sydney building

      Cons

      Bullying, overworked until 9pm-3am, toxic environment, team members are made to backstab each other, partners unapproachable, no flexibility or humanity, brutal office politics, no genuine connections or networking, very high turnover rate and no opportunity to further career no matter what.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Learnt some good skills and got exposure to some great client and work. Good to have on your resume as a global firm.

      Cons

      The people...typical hierarchical structure. Juniors are treated (and therefore act like) children. Micromanaged. Expected to work 12hrs a day to make billables (6hrs) due to write offs from more senior staff. Bullies galore. Supposedly flexible but in reality not even close. Don’t get me started on their diversity policy. Just for social media purposes.
