Pros

The majority of colleagues are nice. Also, they are from different countries - you can really have a nice chat with them if you 'talk'. And nothing more to say, really. (Okay, maybe the thai stall nearby is not bad at all...)

Cons

First thing first: I am 99% sure that the last two positive reviews are written by management. They are probably aware of the poor ratings on Glassdoor and they try to mitigate the score. Anyway, So many (bad) things to talk about. 1. Overall - The company started in 2000 and nothing has changed ever since. No strategy, no plan, management lacks of communication skills and business acumen. The products are outdated, all the competitors are innovating and market is rapidly changing.. But they don't change a single thing and left behind. It is a ship sinking slowly, but they don't care and just think about the current (not eternal) earnings. 2. Working Environment - Be careful - It is not what you would expect in a digital company! The company culture "forces" people to stay until late and in silence (every body is kind of afraid of talking or leaving on time). 3. All the rest - (if you care about your 'Career') Sales targets (and other targets) are set randomly without any theory behind, and not taking into consideration any parameter such as quarter, market, product/service offered and so on. Commissions are advertised as unlimited, and they are - and they will use this to convince you to join the company while you, most likely are not going to realise 'the dream' ... The truth is that except 2/3 countries (already taken), there is really not much chance left for you to earn 'the dream they are selling you.' If you are a sales or marketing professional, if you like people.. Do not come to this company. You will waste time and energies for nothing. If you just moved to London and need a salary, you can try here instead of food chains like Starbucks, Costa or Cafe Nero.

Pros

Good first job to start your career in the UK, learning a few skills that could be useful in your future career.

Cons

Processes are non-existent, management is horrible and toxic, systems are outdated, I think they still run this company as they're attached to what it was one day and will never be again.
