Pros

Despite a very difficult 2020 and 2021 (covid-19 has been rough on everyone), everyone in the company from the junior associates to the management team has been giving their 110% and keeping their spirits up. If you decide to work here, what is rewarding is definitely getting the opportunity to work with singles by helping them to connect with new people who could potentially become their life partner or at the very least, remain friends. Going out on dates or chatting with someone virtually can remove feelings of loneliness and further isolation. The job here is meaningful and I've never seen a team more positive and resilient than the one here in Lunch Actually! Going to work is not a drag as every day can be different!

Cons

- The fatigue from having zoom meetings within the team or with clients - Difficulty staying connected with colleagues in other countries - Flexible but at times long working hours - Fast-paced working environment, which is not for everyone - Niche target audience, which means not everyone needs our service

Pros

small team xx xx xx

Cons

no bonus, pure commission very flat hierarchy typical of an SME one manager who was quite toxic and micromanaged everyone except himself. he never hit his targets but breathed down his team members’ necks on theirs.
