Pros

Good employee benefits for those that started before 2018, new starters aren't so lucky. Owned by RELX.

Cons

In the last 6 months it has become really difficult to work in the Sales team. There is lots of politics and micromanagement. Processes have been put in place so you have to ask managers approval for everything from a offering a discount, a trial, grace periods etc. This has led to low productivity as every little thing takes so much time. Unfortunately this is still a place where you have to be a white, middle/upper class man to succeed. Morale is very low in the sales team at the moment. You are made to feel you are always in the wrong and nothing is ever enough. A massive blame culture has been created by the senior management. It is a real shame as it could be an amazing company to work for. Worth noting that managers have been asked to post positive reviews here.

There are some kind individual contributors.

Director level and above is backstabbing and uninspiring. There is no vision.
