Pros

- Junior colleagues are friendly and approachable. - Central office location, - Highly flexible wfh policy, including working from abroad

Cons

- The role is not accurately represented in job advertisements; the focus is only on recruitment, with no exposure to advisory responsibilities. - Inexperienced managers with no prior experience or training, resulting in miscommunication, inconsistent management practices, and mismanagement. Micromanagement is a persistent issue, with no autonomy in day-to-day tasks. -The workplace culture in the London office can feel negative, with serious concerns stemming from senior EMEA leadership - Associates face significant pressure to work extended hours with compensation that does not align with the workload. Bonus payouts are minimal despite different expectations set during hiring - Social events are frequent but often lack inclusivity, with an overemphasis on alcohol-centric activities - Team building activities almost exclusively focused on drinking - EMEA leadership instills toxic culture in the London office - Favouritism & promotions based on favouritism. Lack of support to progress out of junior roles - Lack of diversity in both gender and especially ethnicity across the organization, and no initiatives at all to address this gap - HR functions are managed by individuals without formal HR qualifications, significantly impacting the quality of employee support - Promotions and increase in responsibility do not match salary increases - Habit of rude&inappropriate comments towards clients amongst team leads - Employees have been asked to write fake positive reviews on here especially the ones going up in recent days
