Pros

Nice co-workers. Company offers lunch items that you can help yourself to on Mondays. Occasional after work drinks in the office.

Cons

Worked for a year, joining during a mass hiring for a new European market team, which was a red flag. The company fired the existing European team to relocate to London without disclosing it during the interview. The new team faced immense pressure due to poor planning. My colleague and I received minimal training for our roles, with no support or manager. Despite our efforts, we were deemed inefficient and useless by a manager unfamiliar with our market. Meetings were filled with scolding and threats to our roles if we didn't meet unrealistic targets. There was not enough staff, and they failed to listen to us when we explained the additional tasks that needed to be undertaken, which could not be numerically assessed. When I expressed interest in a suitable vacant role that aligned with my career goals, they hired externally without informing me. Discovering pay disparity was the final straw, prompting me to quit. My co-worker also quit the following day, after a meeting with a manager who was damn right disrespectful to us. This company lacks respect and appreciation for its employees. It feels like a sinking ship in there. Avoid if possible.

Pros

You Could make decent money

Cons

Bad employees got away with a lot and catered to. Management wasn't honest about the backlog and if you were behind or ahead. People cheated the system to get more money on piece work and got away with it.
