Pros

Some interesting clients Parking permit

Cons

Unless you work in valuation, you are treated as an irrelevance. Treat other offices as competitors rather than colleagues. Out dated attitudes, culture of lunchtime drinks.

Pros

The small number of colleagues I met during my years there were great.

Cons

As a graduate this company offers little to no support with progressing your APC. 90% home working meant that senior colleagues did not come to the office so training and gaining experience was near impossible. After weeks of chasing they failed to provide a councillor which is required to assist with the APC process. After years at the company they removed a car allowance with zero days notice and after handing in my notice made £800 of deductions to my salary that month. Salary was miles behind similar firms and pay rises were non existent. The social experience here is really poor, there is little chance to meet colleagues and there are zero social events arranged by the company apart from a pub meal at Christmas where they offer £25 to cover food. Leadership was poor with senior figures only corresponding through HR so you never meet them. There is a huge emphasis on timesheets here with partners pushing unachievable fee targets. Overall a poor experience where I would suggest graduates looking to pass their APC and become chartered surveyors look else where.
