Pros

Some nice people in the training team and colleagues instore.

Cons

No understanding of the UK market, or how to run a business outside of India. All HR & policies are very old fashioned and in no way suitable for the standards that employees deserve. Management are controlling, and use power and intimidation to try to get results, rather than support.

Pros

Everything in there is just average

Cons

What stands out is the gap between the headline rating and the substance of employee reviews. When recurring themes like leadership gaps, culture issues, or work life imbalance keep showing up, a high overall score starts to feel less like a reflection of reality and more like a curated perception on Glassdoor.
