Awful!

Pros

This company is typical of what you expect to find in America as they at this time had done NO research into working in another territory and arrogantly assumed that one size fits all.

Cons

The opportunity was never what was promised and never is and the hard work to turn a completely mis sold opportunity into something successful does not exist simply because no one in the UK is given the opportunity to make decisions. Awful systems and KPI environment which reminds you of working in Insurance sale in the 70's & 80's, just everyone has laptops! Every person over the last 2 years has left the company for the same reasons which leaves one employee with an impossible task! Always an annual exodus throughout the company even in the US however the infrastructure in the UK now is simply non existent.

Pros

Recruiters are kind, quick responding, and efficient. I was contacted by one of the recruiters and within a few days, they had job opportunities lined up for me. Once a suitable opportunity was found they then put me in contact with other members of the team to managed different projects to find a great fit for me. Great interactions throughout the entire process.

Cons

None at the moment, will update if needed.
