Pros

Everyone else hates the place as much as you, so you all have something in common.

Cons

Absolutely no redeeming qualities. To think the CEO is on the Sunday Times Rich List and yet the facilities are terrible. No hot water, if you want tea or coffee you'll have to pay for it. I once overheard a facilities consultant of sorts say that as a company they were using too many bin bags and that if they didn't stop using so many bin bags they wouldn't be able to get any cleaning fluid. The sanitary bins in the ladies toilets are a health hazard! They must only get disposed of once a month and are therefore over flowing. Most public toilets are cleaner. The management style here is atrocious. Full of very incompetent and insecure people who are taught that the only way to manage is to instill negativity in everyone they manage and everything that they do. There is absolutely no flexibility. Colleagues are told not to be friends with one another if they want to progress in the company. It is a completely unprofessional environment. Think HR have your best interests at heart? Think again! Multiple complaints have been made about inappropriate conduct and comments made by certain managers. With absolutely ZERO action taken. Employees here are conditioned to work far more than their already high contracted hours (40 hours a week. Standard.) with absolutely no compensation. No Lieu days. No Bonuses. No praise. It's to be expected of you. I wouldn't be surprised if the hourly rate of certain entry level employees was below minimum wage. They pray on graduates with no experience because anyone who has ever worked anywhere else would know that the way they treat staff is borderline illegal. They'll do their best to ruin your confidence, so that you don't ask for a promotion or think you'd be good enough to work anywhere else. It's not dissimilar to being in an abusive relationship. Employee turnover in this company is incredible. Take some advice, don't work here to begin with.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
