Pros

Some fantastic clients and a few very talented young creatives making things look beautiful!

Cons

Awful culture and HUGE issue with micromanagement!! You’re micromanaged to the point where you feel bad at your job. It’s the managers themselves but also perhaps it’s a way to keep people below the level they’re actually at. I too was hired below my worth and level as I was told they wanted you to ‘grow’ within the company. However they also have a huge reputation of letting people go before their 6 month probation ends… there is a pattern here. Perhaps to retain ‘cheaper staff’ or to get rid of staff that actually try and make the company better and give them feedback they ‘want’. Managing your micromanager is another job in itself, they need to learn to trust their staff. They can’t hold on to staff, even if they pass their probation and are always ‘hiring’ which does not look good at all. I’d avoid and find a nicer place to work!

Pros

Big clients and fun installs, plus some lovely team members!

Cons

There was an overwhelming sense of micro-managing at every level of this job. I was hired below my experience level, and not given opportunities to progress or challenge myself. Ideas were squashed in favour of senior team ideas. Credit and thanks were given to team members who contributed little to projects. Junior team members are taken advantage of and over-worked. Many- including myself- are suffering with stress related problems (physical and mental). Lack of diversity in this company is a little uninspiring. I was being enormously under-paid (less than London living wage), and there was no sign of pay increases despite a cost of living crisis. I was also denied time off when requested several weeks in advance. My advice if going to work for this company is go in as a freelancer so you can test whether this place is your cup of tea.

Pros

I loved my 3 month freelance gig with Heaps + Stacks - the team were really supportive, well set up and good division of RnRs which played into the success of the projects we delivered. I'd recommend the team to any freelancers looking for a dynamic and creative place to work.

Cons

Some internal processes and systems are a little old fashioned and could be improved.
