Pros

Sociable Some nice colleagues Nice park next to office

Cons

Management overall very much chaotic. Nepotism is rife with upper management (everyones related to each other or are together). Low salary, and high workload. You're expected to be in office 5 days a week (big requirement for such a laughable salary), meanwhile the office floor is so noisy, people just straight up have full conversations next to you when you're doing a client call, making it a hard environment to focus and work in. Overall I just got such a weird vibe - everyone puts on an overly positive front, but once I got to know some colleagues better, I found out that everyone was struggling with the same issues I was too. It's no wonder turnover is so bad. In the few months I worked here, my entire team was almost all new people as everyone I started with left!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that your time with us felt this way. Recruitment and promotion decisions are based on role requirements, performance and capability, and we continually review our governance and leadership structures to ensure fairness and transparency. We recognise that workload, salary expectations and office environment all contribute significantly to colleague experience. If colleagues are in the office, we hope in-person office presence supports collaboration, development and performance, but we understand that this won’t suit everyone.

Pros

The onboarding process here is excellent. There is a very thorough, structured training plan for the first four weeks that ensures you aren't just thrown into the deep end. On top of that, the team culture is great—all employees have been incredibly welcoming both on a social side and by proactively offering help whenever it's needed. Communication from leadership is very transparent. You aren't kept in the dark about account wins, agency performance, or upcoming internal strategies, which makes you feel like a valued part of the company's wider growth plan rather than just a cog in the machine. There is also a great sense of direction within the company. Leadership has outlined very clear, transparent growth plans for the business in the future, which makes it an incredibly motivating environment to work in as you can see exactly where the company is heading and how it plans to scale.

Cons

None as of yet it has been great
