Pros

Looks good on CV, will learn a lot from being so busy

Cons

Works in silos, many employees in senior management roles are unsupportive and intimidating to younger members of the team - can be very unprofessional at times too.

Pros

Good holiday policy. Pretty good work-life balance.

Cons

The work is dull and uninspiring. The whole team was fairly miserable, with a real 'production line' attitude towards projects. Right now it seems there's little appetite from the senior management to change. So long as revenue targets are met, employee satisfaction stays secondary. Salaries are also extremely top-heavy, with little hope of progression for more junior members of staff.

Pros

Genuinely bright employees at mid level, and a fantastic place to gain experience and get some good brands on your CV.

Cons

Horrifically aggressive culture - I've never seen anything like it. Senior management screaming at other employees (of all levels) in the middle of the office, backstabbing is rife - my strong advice would be to just get your head down and stay out of the so-called 'social culture'. They also really don't care about your welfare (or your opinion, if you're a mid level employee) in any respect. Do it for how it looks on your CV, then leave.
