Pros

Incredible group of bright, enthusiastic and hard working employees. Amazing energy and great clients /projects. Household names.

Cons

total lack of leadership. senior leaders are stopping this company becoming truly great. they've never seen the real world or even worked outside Armstrong Craven so their view is parochial and lacks vision. their ability to handle clients or think commerciality is way behind the people below them. total lack of inspirational leading by example.

Thank you for your recent review. It is wonderful to hear yet again about the great colleagues, clients and projects which represent everything that Armstrong Craven is about. We were disappointed to read about the leadership. We have made changes over the last 3 years and not only are we bringing expertise up through the business but we have also hired in experience and expertise at all levels. The current Board is balanced between long standing experience of Armstrong Craven and vast experience of other businesses and sectors through both executive and non-executive directors. We have previously received feedback that we have a supportive environment and we are therefore sorry to read that we haven’t said thank you or made you feel valued enough and we take your comments on board.

Pros

Clients drive interesting projects.

Cons

SMT lack integrity. Below market salaries. Manchester is very clearly HQ. London is a tiny non client facing office. Staff turnover in London must be in excess of 75%.

Pros

Some really capable individuals, delivering varied work to global clients. Work-life balance.

Cons

Since the business sadly went into administration in March, with the debt taken on by an organisation in Mumbai, lots of good people have either left or been let go. While the office has always been a very cold and soulless working environment (where no one even says good morning to each other) now there's also a real feeling of unease, with further job cuts continually being made. Although the AC leadership team is pleasant enough, most people have lost any remaining faith. Accountability is constantly dodged and their incompetence has driven what was once a profitable business into the ground.
