Pros

Half day on Friday, Refurbished Gym

Cons

Very flat organisation so not much room for development. Many areas do not provide opportunities to move or grow: recently it is causing a high labour turnover as many people are leaving to move to companies with development. Very often staff are there for 5+ years before they can move from Junior to Senior! Salary is very low and they are very hard to negotiate a deal with. very rarely recognise the hard work done by staff: not many thank you's or appreciation shown!

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
