Pros
- High profile clients - Client work and training programmes are top-notch - Possibility of good pay (if you negotiate) - Opportunities to stretch and acquire new skills
Cons
- Toxic management behaviours bordering on psychological abuse. Bullying, targeted harassment, frequent aggressive messages outside of work hours, excessive criticism. Employees reduced to tears on more than one occasion. - Chronically under-resourced, likely due to extremely high employee turnover (many leave after <1 year). Overwhelming workloads as a result. - High challenge, low support. - Employees regularly required to work 60-80 hour weeks with no additional pay or TOIL, including early mornings, late nights, and weekends. - Calls with employees, freelance contractors, and current and prospective clients frequently recorded without consent. - Management extremely resistant to feedback. Culture of blame and fear prevents employees from speaking up, even after leaving the company. - Clear misogyny from men in high-ranking management positions towards lower-ranking women.
