- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Character led approach, empowerment and promotion of staff
Cons
Pay could be better benchmarked to competition
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good culture, fun place to work
Cons
Workload and long hours throughout year
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The company overall has many opportunities
Cons
Too much politics Long hours no life
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
- Great teams to work with. The main thing keeping me with the firm is that fact that I actually like the people I work with and I know the grass is green where you water it. - Good time management in my team (can't say about others). This makes work life balance a lot better than what I hear in other firms (although busy season might be the same across the board). - Incredible diversity in my team! I work with people from all walks of life which makes team work all the more interesting.
Cons
- Salary on progression relative to other firms not encouraging/competitive at lower grades. Very tempting to move to industry. - Same applies for other work perks and benefits. Socials are an important aspect of work for team morale and the effects of the firm's cost cutting strategy are really felt in this area. - Cost cutting strategy also felt in terms of training opportunities provided. Seems that we lag behind our peers in other firms on this front.

Lower salaries, especially for SE offices which don't attract London weighting, but arguably similar living costs.

Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
