Pros

Great benefits, 25 days annual leave, 10 days sick leave, Flexible working hours, 37.5 working hours a week as per contract. Profit sharing. Very good firm for graduates to get experience

Cons

Very long hours of work Not enough resource to get the job done on time Profit sharing is dependent on the boss if he likes you. Abusive Boss, shouts at people in the middle of the office and humiliate employees. Boss has been sued a number of times and had to pay out to avoid employment court appearance. High staff turn over The Boss is a control freak and highly political, It's his way or the highway. You need to be a yes man to last in this company.

Pros

There have certainly been good moments here, and I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly great colleagues.

Cons

Very little investment (actually none) is made in the London team when it comes to development and support. Even basic CPD requests were a struggle, yet the company seems willing to spend big to fly people in from NZ or AUS for temporary help when things go wrong. It’s hard not to feel like the local team is overlooked. There’s a strong sense that keeping clients happy comes above all else, even if that leads to burnout. When complaints come in from clients, the default response is often to point fingers rather than ask the team what actually happened. It feels like there’s more interest in assigning blame than in understanding and fixing the real issues, which only adds more pressure to an already stretched team.
