Pros
- Generally speaking, a great bunch of people, but without doubt there are some people given opportunities purely because they're in the bosses pocket. A lot of 'yes' people and not many who challenge the status quo to be better and always evolve. - Decent perks such as breakfast, snacks and socials. - Handy offices and free parking on-site.
Cons
- Junior folk who land on their feet in management roles because the more senior and experienced managers above them aren't replaced when they leave. - Internal politics like nowhere I've ever worked before. If you're in 'the club', then great... if not, you're not going to progress anytime soon and you'll constantly be met with negativity and belittlement from others who should know better. - The 'cool/hip/everyone gets along' image the company portrays is completely fabricated and despite their website saying 'a culture like theirs can't be bought or manufactured' this is a lie. Teams are in frequent battle with each other and there's a daily game of oneupmanship on the company's internal messaging platform that can sometimes make for uncomfortable reading. - Sales team promise the earth to prospects, commit delivery teams to unrealistic timescales then when it's not deliverable, the clients leave. And round the cycle goes. - Flexible working hours - but only within set hours, if you book in advance and tell your manager your every move when you're out of the office. Not so flexible really.
