      A great place if you want to be totally demoralised!

      Pros

      Nice office, some great people

      Cons

      Proper bullying culture, some managers should have been fired years ago. Employees that stand up to these bullies are usually got rid of before long. HR never do anything to stop this behaviour for fear of grievance issues. I would steer clear of this company at all costs.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great intentions from the majority of people. Good working conditions, restaurant, coffee, cakes, parking etc. Shame this is the best that can be said about the company. HR and Finance trying to change company, but MC resisting heavily

      Cons

      MC is an out of control Kindergarten, with no one making them behave professionally. No direction, to much infighting. To busy fighting and trying to trip each other up (smiling faces with knives in your back). No control which cascades down and impacts those that are trying to make a difference. To heavy a reliance on external Consultants. Complete lack of development opportunities - real old boys network. Lots of nice publicity espousing change and flexibility - none of which is practised

      Awful company, awful culture

      Pros

      None - toxic culture not made up by any positives

      Cons

      Very political. Poor quality people. Poor management. Happily tell lies to cover up their failings. Example given in the recent PMCPA Code breach case in the UK, gave dishonest evidence to the review panel, but were caught out when reported by a current employee.
