Pros

There used to be free cooked breakfast, then COVID happened. Loads of lovely people there who got turned into bitter husks.

Cons

Terrible MD, no ability to delegate, doesn't trust the people she hires to do there jobs, doesn't allow the people she hires to do their jobs. Will take praise when things go well and blame everyone else when things go wrong. That flows down to a back-stabby environment. Multiple staff burning out and having to take time out/go on meds. This place will work you like a dog then blame you for breaking. More than 50% of the staff left in the short time I worked there. Senior management completely blind as to who the one single constant is in the absolute shambles that is the London office.
