      A good company, going bad

      Marketing

      Business outlook

      Pros

      For the majority of the time, Argus provided an excellent work/life balance, good career opportunities and strong support from immediate line managers to coach and develop talent. This was an excellent environment to show initiative, learn new skills, be given the opportunity to put them into practice and be recognised for it. Line managers also actively encouraged and valued new ideas and opinions, creating a working environment that was collaborative, productive and satisfying on both a professional and personal level.

      Cons

      A disappointing senior hire quickly demoralised and destroyed a successful department within a few short months. Established talent that had previously been invested in by the company left very quickly, leaving a significant skills, knowledge and capacity deficit. A toxic working environment ensued where people were no longer valued and opinions no longer welcomed. Weak leadership combined with severe staff shortages resulted in unmanageable workloads and extreme pressure on a few individuals to cover for the shortcomings of senior management.

      Thank you for your comments. To ensure that the company continues to grow and operates as a truly global business, we needed to complete a reorganisation of our marketing team. This is the right decision for the company. However, we acknowledge that reorganisations bring a number of challenges and are rarely a smooth process; we regret that some of our colleagues have decided not to continue with their career journeys at Argus. We are actively working to establish a strong and collaborative team of marketing specialists who can take forward our vision for the function and deliver exceptional results. We are committed to our investment in that team and to maintaining the Argus culture.

      Don't work in Data

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Company seems quite good aside from the cons

      Cons

      Working in data sucks because that means you work under Vlasios. You won't enjoy working under him unless you're a fan of very shouty, aggressive phone calls. Or a fan of ridiculously short timelines, and constantly moving goalposts. Or a fan of a manager who thinks he has the data science knowledge to micro manage a DS team but (shock) doesn't! Everyone who joins is looking to leave within 6 months. If he leaves, might be a fun place to with 👍

      Toxic and backwards... not what it seems

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Nice office Free fruit Some (few) nice people Stable company

      Cons

      Where do I start? Extremely toxic culture Everyone is stuck in the past and don’t want to see anything new Ideas are not welcome Management is stuck in the 1980s and are totally backwards People backstab you constantly Moat of the benefits are only for people that have been there forever TIP: If they offer you a bonus, don’t count on it as whatever the amount they’ll just pay you 20% of what they initially said. (Ie. if your supposed yearly bonus was £5,000, they’ll only pay you £1,000). They don’t tell you this but you’ll find out when you join and ask
