Pros

Can be social + mostly nice people

Cons

Controlling environment, no trust, writers treated like internal freelancers which means it's very transactional work. No praise when you do well. Senior Leadership Team instil fear in those below them, which trickles down (extra ironic as one of their 'values' is 'Freedom to Fail'). They've recently been told to track people's whereabouts if not in the office - transparency, trust and creative freedom should really be prioritised but this still isn't the case unfortunately. Had a pretty bad experience here and would never recommend to work here, especially for a writer.

They have a very good work/social life balance. They really know how to attack a creative brief and give advice when needed.

The creative wasn't that creative.
