One of the worst places I have ever worked, with ironically some of the best people
Pros
Other consultant/staff were intelligent, driven, and friendly
Cons
Management in the ESRM team had an unofficial policy of hiring cheap graduates under the guise of helping them start a career, only to bin them as soon as the job was over. In general they subjected staff in the ESRM team to around 5 redundancy "consultations" over a period of two years - seeing the director Andrew Limage moan about how hard it is to attract talented graduates is laughable in the worst way imaginable. Management in general were out-of-touch in the extreme; they are/were unapproachable and reacted with a childlike fury when questioned - I know of one case where a female director essentially bullied a colleague of mine for having the audacity to politely point out a flaw in her plans; she continued to bring up the incident over the next few weeks. Management is general were not well liked or respected - they were invisible, offish and rude. Although I am sure that they dont see themselves that way, as people are too worried about bullying to call them out on their behaviour. Its a real shame, as many of my fellow consultants were intelligent, driven and friendly. The team succeeded in spite of management intervention.
