Pros

Really solid people working beside you, to echo a previous review these are people you want to hang out with. Good roster of clients with some attractive "big names" and big budget projects.

Cons

No real long term plan or if there is then management have no interest in being transparent about it. Very little care for your emotional, mental or physical health as work-life balance is poor. The atmosphere and energy in the office is very negative with management especially lacking the leadership skills necessary to get the best out of people. There have been times where I've overheard senior management talking amongst themselves about employees in a very negative light - even whilst at the office. This is frankly unacceptable. Very clear delineation between upper management and "everyone else" with a sense of favouritism that splinters the office. Some really dire projects are taken on that nobody wants to work on for the sake of making targets. High-level plans are said to be in motion but are never spoken of again on both a personal and organisational level. Promises are made and broken regularly. And a reference to the previous review - a certain member of the senior management team needs to be managed more effectively. There's no excuse for a toxic person to undermine the happiness of your staff regardless of how brilliant she might be.

Toxic culture (drugs and alcohol)

Pros

Some nice clients to puff up your CV

Cons

Company culture seems to revolve completely around drugs and alcohol and if you're not part of that clique, you're a pariah. They also like to influence their Glassdoor profile a little too much.

Pros

The clients that we do work for are high profile, it’s good to add onto your CV and makes you more desirable for the next place. The studio is newly designed and a comfortable environment to work in, their flexible working policy is great for commitments that you have outside of the workplace.

Cons

Beyond was the ultimate work environment a year ago where everyone was happy and got along with eachother, since losing a client the studio has gone through an adjustment period and also lost every sense of enjoyment. They have had amazing employees leave and this still continues to happen right infront of their eyes yet nothing changes in order to retain these staff members. If you aren’t into gossip, drama, alcohol, drugs and 30 years old or younger, this isn’t the place for you.
