Pros
Good frequent communications from the business development team on how Analyst-led client interactions has lead to them earn six figues on someone elses hard work. Good for HR to look out for our health and safety, someone accidentally ordered a hot water dispenser but luckily this was removed before someone died/had a serious accident. Good suggestion by one of the reviews below to each out for lunch every day. Paying the typical £8 for lunch in the area is not cheap on analyst salaries but analyst should prioritise networking over social life. GD recognises that in other companies the paying of bonus in highly politicised and controversial, so good decision on punishing everyone equally. Unlike other companies, GD is not elitist in anyway. In fact they have shown they are more progressive by having an "inverted pyramid" structure where the slowest people are promoted each year.
Cons
Due to restructuring, we no longer get to hear ITs humourous one liners. Not enough levels I.e. instead of Analyst, Senior Analyst, Director there should be Analyst 1, Analyst 2, Snr analyst 1, Snr analyst 2, managing analyst, associate director, junior director, director 1, director 2, co-senior director, director OVERRIDE.

Pros
Colleagues are a good laugh. Sales training was positive (not now that the main trainer has left). Because it is so bloodthirsty, with such high employee turnover, you gain qualities in the process of working your heart out to keep your job. Danson has increased investment into sales tech.
Cons
Revenue delivered does not equal pay rises. Hard work does not equal pay rises. Brown nosing your manager = pay rises. Management pay their homogenous friends and not others. Environment is overly stressful, no corporate ever has a turnover rate like GD. Sales/Marketing/Analysts/Product are largely kept separate, management unwilling to take on board feedback from the front lines, a lot of disorganisation and unprofessional chaos. Managers are happy to continually lie to your face. Extremely male dominated & overly misogynistic environs in Sales, this is not a professional / corporate company. Women are and were driven away from the Sales floor. This is a boiler room Sales environment with high spec tools, and middle management that fails its role in modernising the company. For inexplicable reasons, management are hellbent on driving Sales teams back to the office, in the middle of the pandemic. However their hypocrisy shines through when they themselves don't bother turning up. If you're not working in the Intelligence Centre / SaaS side of the business, you are essentially a worthless nobody.
