Pros

They provide good pay. You get thrown into the deep and learn a lot! You get promoted quickly.

Cons

The management is bullying and provides empty promises to employees that want to leave so they make them stay. Meetings with senior management is a bad experience. Horrible attitude to subcontractors. Too much focus on the short term targets than long term growth. Undertake large projects that can’t deliver properly. HR have no clue of the business and they have no recruitment standards.

Pros

Higher salary than elsewhere, pastries on a Friday, some colleagues are genuinely lovely and there for you when times get tough

Cons

Management make this place hell, there is a severe communication issue which results in lower level office workers constantly wiping up after the managers who won’t tell you relevant information to perform your job properly until the very last minute. Pair this with directors who treat their staff and that of other teams like a piece of excrement on their shoe with no understanding that it is management causing delays, and you’re better off avoiding this place. Feedback on this and other matters is simply brushed under the carpet. Everyone is so busy and stressed which has a domino effect on the whole office. You cannot physically accomplish your job role in the work day so expect to be working extra hours very often. Benefits outside of salary are pretty terrible, nothing of any use. This place pays but puts you in a gilded cage.
