Pros

Nice modern offices inside and out in West London

Cons

Junior role and when struggling with workload told to start an hour earlier every day. Looking back - interviewer was playing on her phone/reading emails during my interview - this should’ve put me off but I was young and inexperienced. After 3 months and positive feedback - during my probationary review they told me the role was moving 3 hours from London (cheaper salaries) so I had 1 weeks notice! On reflection they must’ve known this when interviewing me, I felt very foolish having left a secure role for this false opportunity. Line Manager was unsupportive and cold - I did hear that everyone was made redundant a year after my departure so department may have changed now.
