Pros

Flexible and generous with booze!

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit you will never progress. Senior leaders are ill equipped to manage and show favouritism to ‘yes’ people. No development or equal opportunities . If a new role comes up there is always someone earmarked for it and appointed before anyone even knows there is a vacancy.

Ouch, this is a hard read, especially coming from a colleague who has spent so much time with us, and I am genuinely sorry that this was your experience. Our philosophy is to make all opportunities available to all employees, but I do accept that our determination to put our customers first does sometimes mean that we fall short. We have done much during 2018 to create clearer career paths and will continue to do so. My door is always open so please feel free to call me (Jennie Emerson) on 07770 881778. We value all feedback.

Pros

well established clients. Interesting projects; friendly coworkers

Cons

No bonus, no merit increase pay out over the last 4 years. They say they want to strenghten their customer relationships and allocate more to AI but this is the worst way to do it. If your team went above and beyond and secured continuing business the bare minimum is a small merit increase. Growth opportunities for high performing employees will bring you more business. There is nothing to look forward to aside from a paycheck and contract renewal every 6 months.
