Pros

Some nice people if you can avoid the petty hierarchy.

Cons

Redundancies without consultation. Pay cuts without consultation but they paid a dividend to the CEO and investors a few weeks before. New recruits get as little as one month to prove themselves before getting sacked. Don’t give up a secure job to come here as you’ll regret it. Lots of noise about recruitment but there are at least the same number of people leaving every month. The nonsense spouted at interview is nothing like reality. All Knights want is to get your clients in and then treat them as cash cows until they can take no more. It is all about maintaining share price so the CEO, his family and his cronies can sell their shares as soon as they’re allowed to. People desperate to leave and will as soon as the pandemic is over. Investors beware because the wheels are coming off soon. Everybody in the business has seen through the CEO and management team who are now objects of ridicule.

Pros

The place is dead/empty and everyone leaves you alone if you are busy and self generate work Being able to move around offices Encouraged to BD with clients Expenses easily repaid IT and offices leave you wanting for nothing

Cons

Not the place for you if you have a personality No culture and no local traction Juniors do not like the place Salary is very poor and no bonus or benefits worth talking about Anyone with a personality leaves after a takeover so you are left with juniors just happy to have a job and a bunch of downright obnoxious/weird so called 'partners'/robots Empty job titles and zero real career progression Incredibly siloed and the 'one team' mantra is hilarious to the point of extreme irony The weird cultish vibe off the CSDs Absolutely zero rapport between colleagues e.g. no one turns up to the Christmas parties as people just don't care - the brand generates zero rapport or affection.
