Pros

Flexible working environment. Bonus and benefits.

Cons

During my time at British Gas I have seen attitudes of Islamophobia by certain members of the product design department. This was really disappointing, but what was more disappointing was that the design leadership didn't do anything to stop it. This is not what I expected when I joined British Gas. For this reason I cannot recommend the product design department at this company.

Pros

Offering a competitive salary is where the good concludes.

Cons

Under the leadership of an individual in a challenging work environment, there is a notable toxicity that extends to the upper echelons, including the Managing Director. This situation often entails extended working hours without commensurate compensation. Vulgar language is often used . Additionally, there is a preference for external candidates in terms of career progression, even though internal employees are frequently tasked with the responsibility of extensively mentoring these newcomers within the industry, a process that can be time-consuming and lacks adequate recognition.

Pros

Lots of budget being spent. If your pals with certain leaders you don’t need to work hard.

Cons

A team where you are not promoted for doing a good job/ your performance but for who you befriend. Poor brand leadership incentivising office gossip. Lots of ego.
