Great hands-on experience...but.. - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Senior Consultant na empresa Information Risk Management

The core staff at IRM are a close knit team, who offer both support and friendship, making it a pleasure to work with them. IRM used to always be known for helping juniors getting into the industry and make their way up through the ranks, however this has fallen by the wayside is recent years. No help to being taken over by a french conglomerate who spend most of their time eating croissants than actually listening to people.

The great core teams are severely let down by less than satisfactory senior management. If senior management spent more time investing and listening to staff than they do counting numbers it would be a whole different game. 100% billable is the new norm leading to highly utilised and burnt out of staff running on fumes and energy drinks. IRM had always been a bespoke company who their staff were always at the forefront of who they are. However the Atlran aquisition has led to everyone being identified as a "number" and no longer can the CEO make any changes. It should be noted he still has the staff's interests at heart however now faces beuracracy and paperwork thus creating the game of cat and mouse.

Horrifically negative culture which is encouraged and driven by Senior Management You cannot have a good work/life balance if you work here - you’re expected to check your emails on holiday No training opportunities at all and no equal standards for training either - unless you threaten to leave and you’ll be given a token trip to Vegas, but asked not to tell anyone else The CEO is a misogynistic bully The Software team are totally isolated from the rest of the business The Sales team have some of the worst ethics I have ever encountered - when they’re not being handed deals on a plate and pretending they scoped and won the work themselves, they are busy causing rows with every other department and throwing people’s belongings out the window The scoping process is a total joke from start to finish, the lead scoper knows next to nothing and as a result jobs are underscoped and consultants are overworked
