Pros

This would be your job that can launch your career, but I recommend to put it in the review mirror asap. - Amazing co-workers, made some friendships I will value forever. - Some free stuff - beer on Fridays, free fruit, some benefits like dental and paid holidays(nothing you wouldn't expect from a company).

Cons

At first I started out with this: "Where to start, management seems like a good place." But then I realized that management is where it starts and ends. As some people here would tell you, management has a toxic relationship with it's underlings (I use that term to explain the status of the encounters). You are treated like flying monkeys in their cash cow cartel. A certain manager is fond of swearing, and swearing at people in group meetings for not closing a deal. Also, his favorite phrase is: "If you don't like it, there's the door". Thursday is the day of choice the guy shows up in the UK office and it's a game of Russian roulette. The employees stand in a circle for the morning meeting and hoping not to get their face blown off for not having enough closed the previous day. If you're lucky - when you step to the plate, the gun clicks and you survive another week. Their mindset is so fantastically fixed you can notice it in the responses they give people here. When reading this, it feels like I'm listening to a political debate - The awards mean jack when the people you work for despise Sunday nights due to work on Monday. Managers leading by fear seems fashionable. I witnessed first hand the unprofessional nature of the entire management - And when I say entire, I really mean the entire management group.

Pros

office location which is relatively OK. Colleagues are nice too and you can make good friends. Nothing more to add unfortunately.

Cons

Extremely poor management. People are being bullied and eventually laid off. No stability, HR unable to help. You won't get any respect from the management as all they care is money.

Dear former Colleague, Thank you for your feedback. We take allegations of bullying extremely seriously but have not had anything brought to us in HR. Should you have anything to discuss with us, please come and talk in confidence or you can go straight to a director in confidence if you prefer. Regarding stability, we have some turnover as all companies do, and we also have many long-serving team members too. Our management team have grown the company significantly over the years in a competitive sector, and at faster than sector growth levels, so we believe they are effective; and we continue to invest in staff welfare, not least of all a brand new London office in August 2017 with lower occupation density. We have recently enjoyed a team building event for all employees to mark the forthcoming office move plus have fresh fruit in offices daily, extensive perks package and celebrations such as the annual Christmas party, or ad-hoc pub trips to celebrate sales records. We are sorry to hear you don’t share our view but can rest assured we’ll continue to add benefits where and when we can; such as child care vouchers introduced to the benefits package in June 2017 and for 2018 we plan to have two gatherings a year where all staff from both offices meet to hear from all managers about company performance then enjoy company-provided social events. Thank you again and all the best. HR Manager
