Pros
I loved some of my colleagues and I made some great friends.
Cons
Where to begin....
-Made redundant "because of Covid-19", then attempted unlawful dismissal when informed of redundancy payment entitlements, then re-made redundant when threatened with legal action, then did not pay full redundancy entitlement and refused to pay outstanding holiday entitlement.
-Starting salary was £16,500. About 12k below industry standard for the same role. Extremely low wages even for highly skilled roles.
-Was forced to opt out of pension scheme despite this being completely illegal.
-MD stopped offering PAYE contracts to avoid tax. Only used self employed contractors even though they were working full time, 9-5 Mon-Fri.
-Promised bonuses that never materialised.
-Extremely poor understanding and management of mental health issues in staff. Unable to meet minimum legal requirements for reasonable adjustment.
-Extremely high staff turnover
-Management lacked basic knowledge of technology and practices required to produce high quality output.
-Out-dated and heavily damaged equipment
-Zero career progression
-Total lack of integrity and morality in projects accepted.
