Pros

Good people, who often are trying to improve things

Cons

Worst onboarding process I’ve ever experienced. No support or training available. High staff turnover, followed by not replacing roles thus increased workloads. 4 financial directors in 6 months! Lack of job security with people disappearing weekly. Lack of communication from senior leadership particularly relating to disappearing staff/organisational structure so you have no idea who to contact or understand roles/responsibilities. Poor collaboration between departments. Lack of sufficient processes exacerbated by the lost knowledge/skills due to turnover, redundancies, communication, collaboration issues as above. Jumping from “urgent” project to project each week, not giving enough time for completion or providing clarity on project targets/outcomes. Jumping to next project despite no progress or even metrics monitored for the last “urgent” project. Expectation of early starts and late finishes as standard. Meeting invites at 7am and on same day at 8pm! No understanding of staff well-being. Poor working culture.

Pros

Got a lot of hands on experience working autonomously. Everyone in the department was also very friendly and helpful.

Cons

My internship duration was somewhat short which caused me to work on several projects that I did not get to see to completion.

Pros

Hybrid and working from home

Cons

Holiday, pension, death in service. They’re about all the benefits you get. No sick pay. No Xmas celebrations. No Easter celebration. Quick exit redundancy. Pay average. No incentives. No overtime. If you work over there’s no extra pay or option to take as holiday. Heavy workload. Lack of support from management. Training via teams and limited. Not very friendly. In my opinion it’s a company stripped to a skeleton staff and in trouble financially in the UK
