Pros

Some lovely and talented team members

Cons

Where to begin! Really not a well managed workplace. Management style is passive aggressive and very very unprofessional. No attempt whatsoever to make the office a pleasant working environment. Lots of tension between departments due to high workload, lack of processes and poor communication. Workload is unmanageable, lots of staff working long hours and weekends for no extra pay. Just felt all over the place and employees bear the brunt of it. Really did not enjoy my time working here and highly recommend to avoid.

Pros

occasionally they bought communal milk All the team (not managers) are lovely Smaller company - more design freedom than in larger companies

Cons

I would never recommend anyone to work here. Working on minimum wage for a company which don't care about you & there's zero benefits. - Expected to take on jobs & roles which aren't in job description - No targets made for progression within the company - No HR - mine & lots of others mental health has been negatively affecting working here. - unprofessional management - no praise, expect you to work overtime, speak down to you, lots of whispering & laughing behind your back - no work/life balance - management work whenever they like (arrive late, then work evenings) but expect you to work office hours & evenings/weekends. - Lack of empathy to personal issues/when you're sick - Minimal training is given as they have no structure in place - Management constantly changing the structure of things then forgetting what they said & blaming the team - Doesn't feel like you're working in a team - you're not encouraged to share/discuss work & ideas, rarely have meetings with the whole team - High staff turn over - no sick pay - minimum days holiday - very few activities/nights out organised by employer Office: - no windows - feels like you're in a prison - morale in the office is often low - Management very negative which brings mood down - crammed into a small office - not enough space to work in - no communal areas - have to eat lunch at desk - Pipes freeze in winter - still expected to come in even when there's no running water

Pros

Some really lovely, talented people working here who hopefully get some more recognition and support. Worked on a couple of interesting projects.

Cons

Extremely poor attitude, bad communication and poor leadership. No proper HR set up or support. Unmanageable workload and expectations.

The leadership and management teams at Daisy Street have recently undergone a comprehensive restructuring, aligning with our commitment to continuous improvement. As a result of the insights gathered from our exit interviews, we have taken proactive steps to enhance our organisational dynamics. We have introduced a dedicated HR function to develop a conducive and supportive work environment.
