A horrific, egotistical fuelled nightmare of an owner.

Pros

You can gain a wide range of experience in Fifth Ring with the business divisions.

Cons

The owner and director Ian Ord is one of the worst humans I've ever encountered. Everyone shares this opinion. He screams in his office at staff, throws stuff across rooms and physically threatens people. He switches from this with a glibness and superficial charm in moments like a true psychopath. Ian will cunningly bully staff to gain a step of hierarchy and will try to demean them Infront of other members of staff. Horrible man who's reputation ruins everything else the team at fifth ring work hard to achieve.

Pros

- Working with exceptionally talented colleagues who are experts in their fields - A fun, friendly and collaborative environment - Interesting, exciting and varied client projects - Support and progression opportunities from the management team - Recognition for your contributions through regular awards and annual values awards - Good work/life balance, including great support around childcare / family needs

Cons

I personally don’t see it as a ‘con’ as I enjoy a fast-paced and busy work environment, but the pace of work is not the right fit for everyone. Fifth Ring (and agency life in general) is not the place for people looking for a job where you can coast along or give 50% effort.
