Pros

- Salary - as a sales executive, you can get a base of £34000 - Travel - pre COVID

Cons

- Management is terrible, half of them don’t know what they’re doing - Unrealistic targets - Personal development is nonexistent - Promotions are not real you just get them by pushing, with no real difference in responsibility - Women and LGBTQIA+ constantly get put down - Very toxic culture, with constant criticism behind your back - The CEO is stubborn and delusional - when I joined in 2017 we were going to IPO in 2 years. Fast forward to 2021 and still haven’t heard anything about an IPO.

Pros

Met some interesting people, had some interesting conversations.

Cons

Was constantly hearing bad stories about upper management. I only experienced the CEO expressing minor annoyance and paranoia a couple of times. My line manager always seemed to be treading water, fixated on dev-ops ceremonies, and didn't respect the opinions of his peers. The guy who was the "expert" for my field practised management by spreadsheet and was completely out of his depth, always obsessing about his approach to the work and inflicting his opinion on everyone else. Spent too much time having to plan for travel or hear about everyone's travel plans. Wasted so much time in the company's ongoing recruitment drive which pushes most of the work of interviewing and filtering candidates onto regular employees.
