Pros

My colleagues were professional and helpful. Flexible working environment

Cons

The management team in general were not up to the job . I believe some of them failed at running their own company , so they weren't best placed to be advising others who did. The MD running innovations services at the time (who has since left) had an inflated sense of his own capability , he wasn't particularly confidential and he spoke negatively to about employees to others sometimes in public settings and he generally liked the sound of his own voice - took the credit for others success. I was made redundant along with many others when the company lost the Government's Growth Accelerator contract - however I really hated working here and I am now employed elsewhere in a much more supportive company environment.

Pros

All staff are so friendly, there is a great team dynamic where people really care about you; it feels less like you're a 'cog in the machine', and more like you are genuinely valued and respected for your input and contributions.

Cons

There aren't any really; I suppose for some elements of the job may be a little fast-paced.
