Pros

- 95% of the people in the office are nice and understanding people. - Some managers treat employees to food & drink (out of their own pocket) - Depending on which team you are on, personal development and skill training can be good (though don’t expect a salary increase or promotion with this)

Cons

- As people leave in droves, those remaining are suffocated with more and more responsibility with no rewards or foreseeable career progression - Since the focus is on acquiring new clients, if you are lucky enough to work on this team of managerial favourites you will be lauded with praise, promotions and salary increases - Lack of feedback from managers as to personal development or opportunities for career progression causing people to stagnate in low-paying positions while their skillset and workload increases exponentially - It is not uncommon for employees to be left to flounder by themselves due to confusion of responsibilities and an ever-shifting merry-go-round of managers. Firstly, the pleas for employees to leave reviews here should be an immediate red flag. Strongly encouraging employees to flood a review site such as Glassdoor is a publicity stunt that sounds the death knoll of company-employee relations. If as much effort was invested into helping and supporting employees as is spent on these faux PR drives then I doubt I would be writing this review. The actual work on a day to day basis is highly varied, requires a range of skills and is almost always overwhelming. As members of the operations team flee in their masses, the job becomes an endurance test to see how much responsibility an individual can take on. The reward for the suffocating task of picking up the work of multiple people? More work, longer hours and no reflection in salary. If you are part of the overworked team of developers you may get rewarded for your months of hard work and late nights with a cake - as though upper management could only be stretched as far as organising a child’s party rather than actually appreciating the developers of the tools on which the foundation of the company is built.

Pros

It's a job that is the only pro

Cons

Horrible place to work, pay is crap denied pay rises and never mentioned again. The company does not really help development and there is clear favouritism. I hated working there felt trapped and could not wait to leave. No real growth opportunities and very high turnover!
