Pros

Nice people Free tea & Coffee

Cons

Run by Sales Poor overall management No career progression. Lots of people in the same role for many years with no added responsibility or developed skill sets. Underappreciated design & technical departments - When I was there graduate sales execs were on the same wage as designers. Excluding sales commission Sketchy HR proceedings - I will give 2 examples 1. We received training. After said training HR attempted to get us to sign a contract recouping the costs (thousands of pounds) if we left within 2 years. We refused 2. I saw the fallout of someone's exit interview (critical of management) forwarded to management before they had even left. Unpleasant.

Pros

Lots of variety in the role, good customer relationships and the opportunity to work on interesting projects. A positive environment where you're trusted to manage your area and develop professionally.

Cons

Fast-paced environment at times with changing priorities, although this keeps the role varied and engaging.
