Pros

If you are looking for a quick paycheck, this could be the place for 1-3 months.

Cons

Everyone working there can see through the free snack bar and onto the fact that they are just prepping the company for sale. The pay is ok for some but everyone here secretly knows that there is zero job security, including upper management. The majority of the employees are actively interviewing with other companies. I think a clear sign of discomfort is that everyone is looking to jump with an updated resume and references before... The company goes through cuts (laying people off who realize this process) every year to replace them with new young professionals, clueless onto what is happening behind closed curtains. I wouldn't recommend this place to any friends of mine.

I’m sorry to hear you feel like this. We take all feedback that we receive seriously, but I do believe that our staff generally don’t feel this way, as shown by our positive reviews both on Glassdoor and in response to our independently run staff surveys. Your point about ‘making cuts’ is categorically untrue – we invest heavily in our current employees and any new employees joining the business, both of which are integral to our rapid international growth. In light of your review. I would encourage you to talk confidentially to our HR team about your concerns as we may be able to alleviate them. Kelly
