Pros

None, I need to enter 5 words to proceed.

Cons

Firstly, be mindful of the rating, it had 4 x 5 Star ratings in one day.If you could put no stars many would. Heed the recent ratings, they are all spot on and as there is a recurring theme. The CEO is over bearing, controlling and isn't open to any ideas or feedback. Head Office is the most sterile place I have ever seen, it would appear everyone is afraid to talk, even when getting a coffee. No radio, headphones, just silence. Never seen this before in my working career. The CEO will gladly berate people in front of others or directly to you and the substance of such is usually wrong...." I heard that..." and there is no point in putting your side across. He doesn't listen. A lot of the process from interview to exit is absolute rubbish, you won't enjoy it. The culture is toxic and to be a cultural fit you need to be somewhat of a sycophant, he has a small amount of favorites and everyone else is an employee and dispensable. The only thing I learn't from Certero is that I need to more focused on culture and the companies outlook. When I started it had a rating of 4.3 but I should have looked at the dates of the cluster of 5 star ratings and as you can see it is sliding fast.

Pros

Fair salary, great product, holiday schedule is good, great people in the staff level

Cons

Working here was like being part of the TV hit reality show survivor with the CEO and co-owners being on separate tribes and alliances plotting against each other to see who can create more chaos. Constant plot twists of new job roles or shifts to new teams to avoid providing you constructive reviews and annual raises, promising to address concerns once getting through the next big process change only to change the process again. They will be sure to axe you before your 2nd anniversary, this is to ensure no employee is protected by UK labor laws. They will conceal these as mysterious and shocking "decisions to leave to pursue other opportunities" to those sticking around still drinking the Kool aid with eyes wide shut! Ironically many staff's resignation comes within days of taking paid leave while upper management seems to play a famous game of Hide and Seek and take more vacation than hours worked. The lack of understanding or care to understand how health benefits work for the employees in the US or make them attainable without sacrificing your first born child is astounding. A unique experience that will build character, resilience, and a strong desire to pursue greener pastures. Never seen so many people "leave" in such a short time frame, never had so many managers in that same short time in my entire career. This is a job, do not expect a career here.
