Pros

Solution has real benefit for some clients

Cons

If you're thinking of a sales job at Leyton read on: This job is primarily cold calling. While cold calling is fine, this solution results in a 1% closing ratio, that is 1 out of a 100 calls you make you might find someone interested. 90% or more of the companies already claim or take advantage of the R&D tax credit and every accountant is your competition along with hundreds of other R&D tax credit companies similar to Leyton. If you find a company not claiming this company will always check with their own accountant first and then in most cases their accountant will do the R&D credit claim themselves. Leyton pays very little and some commissions are not paid for 6-12 months after you make a sale. Some clients you'll never receive a penny commission for as Leyton lets the client cancel and Leyton's team sometimes loses the client by scaring them off with the 10's or 100's of document a client must produce. If you manage to close a deal, know will only get paid once, if at all. The technical people are allowed to help and service your client year after year and earn commission every year, but the sales people are only paid once on the original deal, if at all. Management appreciates the technical people and not the sales people so if you like working for a company where sales people are not appreciated, you make nothing but cold calls, make very little money, get paid 6 - 12 months later in many cases, this job might be for you otherwise turn around and Run!

Pros

Pay, work is interesting, good culture

Cons

Senior management is intense about initiatives that are peripheral to success, which diminishes morale. Sense that they are out of ideas to improve the business meaningfully, or never really had any to begin with.
