Pros

Multinational environment and mini team's spirit to keep you going

Cons

-the worst ever management -show off to get external attention to hire -slavery tactics to work non-stop -setting unrealistic targets -working on your days offs it is considered as normal and no recognition or even hours back! -NOT a straight talking, different, and having fun at ALL -promotion based on connections esp in HR -freedom of speech and ideas are not welcomed or reviewed even though they are encouraged for the sake of the value advertised outside -too much baffling -internal training or promotion is extremely limited and not encouraged at all -Talent Team exist only for the decorative purposes

Hi and thank you for your review although I am clearly concerned about what you have had to say. If you feel this strongly, I would really encourage you to contact me so that we can discuss this. I am not going to pick up on all of your points, some of which I find quite offensive. Clearly most of your former colleagues who have posted on Glassdoor don't agree. However, I do have to pick up on your comments re the Talent Team. I have no idea what you mean about decorative and clearly you have some issues (again I am happy to discuss) but I do have to point out that this year, they have bought nearly 300 new colleagues into the business, with a similar number in the pipeline next year. I would challenge that being decorative. Thanks again, please do get in touch, I hope to hear from you soon and I wish you well with your future career. Many thanks Ryan
