Toxic culture, very much a man's world
Pros
Generous salary and bonuses. Some great individuals work or have worked there. Cover costs for studying and exams to obtain qualifications. Great networking opportunities.
Cons
An incredibly old school, toxic environment. I would count it as one of the worst places I've ever worked. Would not close or allow staff to work from home over any lock downs, and held more than private drink function for staff during lockdown. Expectation of long hours and little support from management. The MD has a shocking attitude and instils fear in junior staff. I would recommend speaking to former staff before applying. It looks great from the outside in but had a tremendous impact on my mental health and work life balance. Huge turnover for such a small work force. Mostly caused by culture or forcing out staff in certain roles if there are any disagreements. There is no HR team and nowhere to turn if you need advice or are struggling. Building not accessible for physical disabilities.
