Pros

Literally no pros for working here. Completely chaotic and disgraceful entity masquerading as the champion of human rights.

Cons

I was hired by Pogust in last year. The interview stage was a disaster, I was interviewed by two associates who were rude and disruptive and then recieved a rejection from them. A few weeks later they wrote back and said that they had mistakenly rejected me and would like to proceed. My second interview was a conversation with the CEO who made me the offer and apologised for the mess up. After that, I spent three months communicating with them via email as they had to sort out my visa. Communication was really horrible, and the entire HR team was laid off during that time. I finally arrived in the UK, and joined the firm. No line manager was assigned for the next 5 days. There was no proper induction, introduction and I was thrown in the deep end, made to do odd tasks and didnt have a proper chat with my line manager for the first 3 weeks. After 6 weeks of working there, I was fired and was told that the employment had been terminated because I was no longer suited for the role. HR told me that they had made a mistake in hiring me and had thought that I was someone much senior with loads of experience. They said that it was an error on their part and they would help me secure employment elsewhere (all lies). I was left confused, helpless and had no idea what to do because I had moved to the UK from the US for this particular job. They really are a shameless bunch of people, who wasted my time, caused severe emotional and financial stress. I am not the only person who has suffered this at their hands. An entire year of my life was wasted due to them. I really hope people see them for what they are.
