Pros

Free Snacks, food and coffee. Lots of cool and fun events going on. Company arranges great parties for everyone. Great employee benefits and recognition schemes. Modern and clean work spaces. Nice diversity of employees from different backgrounds. Competitive salaries. Working with fellow peers who are equally friendly. Many friendly colleagues and managers happy to help, answer questions and provide support. Good experience for chosen career path. 95% of employees are kind, good-natured people always happy to talk, help and support others.

Cons

Quick to throw out the baby and KEEP the bathwater; High rate of employee turnover. There is no sweet sorrow when you leave, they'll slam the door behind you when you leave, shout "good riddance" and then proceed to bad mouth you to ex-colleagues. SOME Line managers work employees into the ground, take credit for others work and cream off the easiest workload for themselves. I have seen line managers use 50% of their work day away trying to convince directors and execs to get rid of junior employees. Ambitious and arrogant individuals are allowed to humiliate, denigrate and abuse their team members and colleagues in order to progress their own goals. Sales staff are embarrassed with round robin emails detailing their poor performance. 5% of employees are sociopathic, psychopathic and Kevin Spacey wannabee's.

Pros

No real pros. Use to be a good place. Competitors will take their place.

Cons

Not a great sales culture. Hired too quick without any strategy or vision. Leadership are a boys club who have been there for 8+ Years and get promoted every year regardless of performance whilst account executives doing well whilst performing account execs have zero progression. Most top performers have left for better things. (Reach out to any ex employee on LinkedIn to see for yourself) all the good people have left. The boys club remains.

Pros

Some brilliant employees with some incredible knowledge and a friendly helpful core values from some. Breakfast paid for every Thursday and work from home every other Friday. Plus a free kitchen with a well stocked fridge , all the makings for a great company culture.

Cons

There are some levels of management who really beg belief how they got to that position. One team in-particular i have seen and heard no end of complaining with an aggressive attitude and public shaming/ humiliating that quite frankly in some circles is considered bullying . I saw one member almost reduced to tears as he was openly humiliated by one manager in particular for the most remedial reason and threatened to be fired! New idea's to assist the team are shot down instantly with no remorse and your told to get in line or get out.
