Pros

- Some usual company perks nothing major. - office location is good

Cons

- some useless people who don’t know what they are doing - fake friendly people that gossip a lot. - HR forces you to leave a good review hence they have good ratings so this is my second and honest review - typical rude traders - typical useless HR - terrible work life balance - no growth mindset as company. This clearly shows in their profits being minimal. - painful night shift - not enough desks in the office - company trips should be optional, not everyone wants to spend their weekend tolerating drunk employees. Hated every moment of it. - no one cares about sexual preferences. It has nothing to do with work. Quit making it a big deal.

Pros

Lot's of autonomy to manage clients as needed. No problems with budget for marketing; management allowed expenses for whatever was necessary.

Cons

Flow of information out of London was poor at times. London management didn't always understand conditions in the US. Lot's of flip-flopping on strategic plans.

Pros

- You have a handful of good people in the company - CEO is amazing (Anthony) - big football lover but unfortunately supports the wrong team 😂 - Good amount of social events but nothing exciting. - WFH is available here and there - Pay is decent for an apprentice considering how much you make at 18/19/20 and bonus is low but alright. (won’t pay more than 1.5k)

Cons

- Lots of bullies and 2 faced people. - CEO is unaware in what’s happening, even I discussed plenty problems in the company - Get forced to attend Christmas parties and summer parties etc. no reason is valid - If you don’t drink, unfortunately you have to be around drunk and bad people. - One HR member shared personal information about me to other people which I found out. I had evidence for this however I was nice enough not to call my barrister to file a case. - You get a few racist people who give a bit of a dirty look if you’re not white. - Depressed people and company performance is over hyped. - Don’t expect a big pay rise; 2-3% each year. - If you work in the office, no one does work but if you work from home, you get pushed to work flat out and don’t get recognised.
