Pros

Very few pros to be honest. The money you get is still decent.

Cons

Too much politics and the chances to make progressions are tiny. Senior managers will get in the way of their best staff if they try to move to another team unless you are recommended by another senior manager. The operation department is literally a nightmare, I've seen so many people getting ill. I read of perks...well, that was ages ago and they are cutting on staffing and try to hire in offices in cheaper countries. They change your job title whenever they want: in a nutshell they own you!

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on your time working for Rational Group. Internal movement and progression is an area that we work very hard on as a business and is always an area of focus. Just last year there were more than 100 internal moves and promotions, which we believe really shows our commitment to put real, achievable career progression within everyone’s grasp. Unfortunately no one can guarantee that internal opportunities are going to come up at the right time, location and department for everyone, but we really do wish you well in your future endeavours and our door will always remain open.
