Great teams but recognition can be inconsistent

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with amazing individuals and be part of several outstanding teams.

Cons

Recognition can be heavily influenced by recent accomplishments, and long term contributions may not always receive the same level of visibility. Your experience can also vary significantly depending on leadership, as having a strong manager makes a tremendous difference, while ineffective management can make it easier to feel overlooked.

High talent but major issues with payroll accuracy

Designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Extremely high bar for talent and work ethic amongst the colleagues I worked with. You can learn a lot in a very short time.

Cons

Pay department needs an overhaul, they frequently make mistakes for UK employees. They've messed up my tax code causing a severe underpayment for the current tax year. When I was working at C+T they confused my bank details for a colleague's and we were delayed pay due to an admin error that took days to resolve.
