      I still remember how awful it was

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The offices are nice and open, and you're supplied with booze on late nights and Fridays. There is a strong sense of teamwork

      Cons

      Literally don't know where to start...it's over 2 years ago since I was at MP and I still shudder when I think of what the job entailed. Copious amounts of cold calling, pestering and bullying of clients and marketing teams in order for them to buy ad space in one of your ridiculously niche campaigns. Management when I was there was made up of people that had raked the most money in commission wise - the management structure is retained on profit rather than knowledge, guidance and wisdom. The perks like a free iPhone, booze on a friday, holidays and parties etc are all there as incentives to make you start work at 8.30am and not finish until 7.30pm or later - often feeling guilty if you do actually go home. There's just so many things that are wrong with the non existent ethic and morale of this company and if I could tell myself back then - I would have said to never have even gone to the interview.

      Mis-leading and over-worked

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Ok social culture, drinks, outings.

      Cons

      Mislead you into being a "project manager" but you're just a glorified Sales exec. They don't train you on their processes, you just get plunged into the deep end. The amount of work at the start of the project is unrealistic to the deadlines, and they are NOT sympathetic when you can't make the deadline. The turnover is really high, I was there for only 6 months and saw 3 people leave. They promote young people who have done well in Sales but have NO idea how to manage people, and become as unsympathetic as their seniors. The salary is really low, but you are expected to stay late all the time, so much that if you don't stay late at least twice a week, people raise eyebrows???! Horrible place to work, but I understand that is what Sales is like. Bu they should really make that clear, and not go round employing people as "project managers" but as Sales executives.

      Project manager

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - fun incentives (music in office, beers, evenings out) - learn a lot - if you outlast everyone around you, you could just get promoted - you can earn your freedom from your micro managing bosses (if the money is coming in)

      Cons

      - extremely low base salary - no ethics whatsoever, lie to your clients to get a quick buck - if you haven't brought money in before week 5, you will get fired - management on all levels doesn't know anything whatsoever, usually promotions come out of necessity as someone has left the company, and replacements are chosen based on wrong criteria, have no leadership experience or anything to teach
