Pros
- Members of staff are really friendly and genuinely seem to care about you once you make friends with them - Free breakfast in the morning and soft drinks from the fridge whenever you want - Flexible working hours are a big plus and working here will definitely look good on the CV - Great Old Street location (they are due to move to Alie Street in Aldgate in January however)
Cons
- A highly political and toxic environment to work in. You don’t know where you stand with the company - unless you’re making it money and are seen, but not heard. - Cliques are sadly in abundance in the office which is not the fault of employees – but of management and its practices. Gossiping and Chinese whispers were aplenty during my tenure with the company. - The MD (who legit looks like Ness from Super Smash Bros) and his closest advisers - namely HR - are all nice and smiles to your face. But they are always making judgments and talking behind your back – which I found out the hard way in the end. - CCTV cameras in the office – which I’m told on good authority the MD constantly reviews to potentially “weaponise” against employees. Small whispers abound he actually reads the emails of employees as well. - No compassion when it comes to a work/life balance – especially if it relates to an unforeseen emergency circumstance. Pray to God you don’t have one while working here.
