Pros

It used to be a nice place to work. The finance department is well run.

Cons

Utterly toxic environment generated at the top of the organisation. Managers who backstab and play petty politics. Be prepared to have managers lie about you behind your back whilst praising you to your face. They have driven virtually every good person from the business now and sooner or later they will drive the business into the ground. Virtually everyone is talking openly about how they want to leave. It is a horrible place to work.

Pros

The Head of Finance seemed more interested in sounding like he was on a lads group than running a professional department. Constant vulgar comments and inappropriate chat made the place feel awkward from day one. Says a lot when a new starter lasted less than a week before deciding they’d rather update the cvs than stay there.

Cons

Finance man seemed to think bullying counted as management and vulgar comments counted as banter. If you want to know what the atmosphere was like, have a quiet word with the female stafff, they’ll probably give a more honest exit interview than management ever did. Staff turnover was less a coincidence and more a survival instinct.
