Pros

•Great people •Flexible start times •Hour long lunch break •Frequent screen breaks

Cons

•No progression - even after slaving away at underpaid salary packages compared to the industry •Management only book smart - not practical and no common sense •Management are not managing their teams instead they are acting as data analysts for the private equity overlords •Shocking high staff turnover •Lack of communication between individuals in the same team and also between different teams •Good employees are treated like sheep in a slaughter house - shot and put down with no remorse •Tears of employees are not enough to show what pressure they are put under - tears caused by their own line management •People are wrongly promoted - people are not promoted on their ability or performance instead promotions are distributed by irrelevant factors such as how long they have been at the company •No pay packages offered which are fair and in line with industry standard - instead they compare pay packages demographically but they fail to understand that in the location of their HQ (Manchester) property prices start at £100K compared to £300K starting in London - how are the employees in London ever to jump on the property ladder living on Manchester wages •London Support team is skeletal or pretty much non existent as so many support team members have left - London customers complain that the Manchester support team do not have a clue about the they are doing and are not able to provide support due to their unfamiliarity with the London network •The transition of first line support from London to Manchester caused nothing but delays as we were bombarded with Manchester support team calling us for help even though we were not the support team nor were we trained to handle support tickets.

Pros

The staff by and large were very intelligent talented, competent people. Work life balance was ok. The summer and winter socials were good until convergence decided to stop doing them.

Cons

The New lower and senior management changes were extremely poor. The Culture and buzz about the place has been absolutely destroyed by the takeover The only benefit given is medical cover. Nothing else. Pension contribution is terrible compared to other companies. No progression at all. Pay is extremely poor compared to other companies nationwide. The takeover feels like it’s just a money spin for Neil Harrison and convergence. They don’t care about the employees just profits profits profits It was a great company before the takeover and the mass redundancies. As soon as they started getting rid of people after saying they wouldn’t, morale and culture was non existent. Everyone there is miserable. The whole office is just a soulless abyss Communication is awful. Things constantly change and no one knows what’s going on day to day most of the time.
