Pros

i wish there were some

Cons

The firm exists to pander to the childlike whims and fancies of the founding 'architects' MK and PL . The quotation marks serve to highlight their competence as their knowledge of compliance is sketchy at best and as architects, they cannot have their heads clouded in fantasy. I do emphasize childlike with irony as neither of them have families and they clearly to expect their employees not to have them either. For example, cancelling their employees' overseas leave for a family trip at the last minute and disregarding sunken cost. Even NS commitments are taken into consideration at performance reviews. NS deferments are not within the control of the employee and yet looked at negatively. Good work is not received with any praise and favoritism is rampant. Bear in mind that i write this review as one of those that was actually considered to be a decent talent. Staff Dismissals(Firing) are made public knowledge by PL and her infantile nature is propagated into her project management as well. MK is constantly worried that his staff are not working and slacking off and this paranoia prevents him from actually doing his job and guiding his staff. The other directors are largely irrelevant both within the firm and externally. Remuneration is below industry average and if you consider the 14 hour workdays that an average person has to put in with no overtime and your overtime transport claims are questioned due to cashflow issues since the firm frivolously spends on non essentials like company trips for staff that have been there for over a year(less than a quarter of the company) If you are a prospective client, I would request you look elsewhere for your services as I assure you that your project will not be delivered in time and nowhere near the what you imagined as the pretty images that are presented to you are extremely unresolved and as a result, due to a severe inability to manage projects, high staff turnover resulting in a lack of manpower, infantile immature directors that squabble amongst themselves, extremely low staff morale you will not receive what you are paying for. Please do consult the clients on their web page for references of their timelines and the promises made versus the quality of actual delivered work.
