Pros & Cons

  • PiPers are fantastic to work with. They are caring, intelligent, and always happy to talk
  • Being supported by a wide variety of personalities and intelligence and constantly being pushed to learn more about the world
  • The development! Formal training, on the job training and frequent feedback from every colleague, means you are developed fast and continually learning new things. It was present through the interview process and has only improved from there.
  • 1. People are fantastic - sharp, caring , down to earth and respectful. Everyone is very focused on your professional and personal development and making sure you achieve your best potential 2. Work is challenging - every engagement is always an interesting challenge with opportunities to step-up and go outside your comfort zone (e.g. running meetings with C-suite level execs in your first year, building complex models, etc) 3. Lots of opportunities to get involved - big "self-starter" culture, lots of developing practice areas to contribute to (e.g. Energy Transition, Financial Services, Pro Bono, Digital Practice). Everyone is also very collaborative and willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand to turn an idea into reality 4. Flat org structure - leadership team makes an effort to get to know you, juniors are often expected to provide their perspective, not very hierarchical at all
  • Travel, diversity of work, constant learning opportunities
  • The hours can be long and you have to make sacrifices to prioritise what is important to you
  • Consulting is a demanding job, so there are days when there are long hours however the team I have worked with actively tries to ensure these are few and far between.
  • Mostly common issues with the consulting industry - 1. Hours/lifestyle can be demanding - whilst emphasis on work/life balance is better than most competitors, hours can still be long (engagement dependent) and pre-COVID flying to client site each week can be challenging to manage 2. High expectations to perform - also endemic within the consulting industry, but sometimes these pressures can make more work stressful 3. Work culture can be intense (mostly during stressful periods) - sometimes the scope of work can be way too much and everything becomes quite task/process driven so regular life gets thrown out the window (especially when working remotely)
  • Some times long hours

Larger emphasis on CSR recently, but historically involved in industries like coal mining. More diversification away from this recently, towards energy transition & renewables.

PiP culture is great, open, and transparent. It's been hard WFH but online events such as trivia still provide us with a sense of culture. There is a lot of ability to work with senior PiPers and clients.

Managers are pretty good - most have been very good at giving regular feedback and coaching and are very easy to work with / get along with You also get a Development Leader outside of your day-to-day engagement manager and they are excellent mentors throughout your career

Training

Training
Training & development is a real focus at Partners in Performance. As a business analyst, my first two weeks involved formal training run by the leadership team which was followed by 8 weeks of 'apprenticeship'. Apprenticeship is on the job training where you have a designated coach who helps to upskill you quickly, this experience is super tailored to you.

Sustainability
We do a lot of work with clients to help reduce their emissions and we do have some sustainability policies in place. Not sure if anything has changed during COVID or when we start returning to normal pace of working where we are flying in and out a lot again
