      Pros

      - Most coworkers are kind and friendly

      Cons

      - Terrible pay which is justified by the 20% discount - Lack of developmental opportunities/recognition for hardworking employees - Under-qualified and unprofessional managers - Constantly asked to work overtime due to understaffing - Forced to work additional hours over Christmas and New Year, not allowed any holiday - Payment system is outdated and highly confusing! Overtime was always incorrect/missing from payslip You're paid one month in advance, when you leave you owe M&S money Took over a month and a half to receive my P45, customer service were beyond unhelpful

        Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

        Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

        Alex L.

        Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
