Thank you for your review. I would love to have a conversation with you in person to chat through the cons you have mentioned. In the meantime, I would like to address some of the points made. We love our new offices in Parkwest which were designed to cater for the projected growth over the next few years. We are also incredibly proud of all of our team and we want to support them in becoming the best version of themselves. We actively encourage continuous professional development and access to learning platforms and funding for training to all of the team. In relation to pay rises, it would be unusual for an employee to have a salary change within the first 12 months of their tenure in any company. We actively review our salary bands and recently conducted a benchmarking exercise against our competitors to ensure that we are aligned to the market rate. We also review individual salaries annually or when they are being promoted or transferring internally.

Pros

Smart, capable people who genuinely care about doing good work. The company is growing, and there is real opportunity to shape how data, reporting, and analytics support decision-making. Leadership is open to ideas, and there is trust given to senior individual contributors. Exposure across Sales, Finance, Services, and Operations provides strong learning and impact potential.

Cons

The business is still maturing in terms of structure, prioritisation, and data foundations. Some processes and expectations are not always clearly defined, which can create ambiguity and rework. Tooling and data ownership across systems could be better aligned to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.

Pros

I struggle to think of a single positive aspect

Cons

Poor pay (well below industry standard), Management are extremely toxic, especially at the highest level. Expected to work extremely hard for low pay. No real opportunity for progression. Told recently that they have no intention of paying competitively, do not want to retain staff and that they prefer to recruit. The recruitment budget they deduct from your salary is not yours - they control how it is used, you have to pay them back if you leave the company, and they only pay for each exam once. Whether you are new to the industry or a veteran - this is bad place. Companies they buy have half their staff leave within a year, selling to them is a betrayl of your staff.
