Pros

The stress helped me loose weight Learnt how to deal with bad managers

Cons

The management team lacked management experience and this really showed through. Expecting working hours of 40 a week as a bare minimum with non paid overtime ontop of this expected frequently and frowned upon if finishing and starting on time. Bullying from management on a daily basis. Contradicting and conflicting orders from management (mainly due to under trained staff wanting to assert their position) Work stations monitored via remote access to webcams to check up on employee Ilnness looked upon as inconvenience even if long term condition - disregard and disgust instead of support. Often sexist and inappropriate comments in office Drunken and drug fuelled nights out encouraged Employees badmouthed by CEO If discussing former employees they were refereed to as "dead to us" Childlike attitude in offices Toxic work environment Run by "lads" Disrespect for staff Also you may notice that other reviews are either damning or incredibly positive, the reason for this is that HR encouraged everyone to post a review on here as soon as they discovered some previous bad reviews. There was a checklist of those who hadn't completed their review and they were chased up on.

Pros

- When I started I felt supported and I had a manager who really did want to see me do well. -Most members of the team were encouraging, friendly and happy to help when necessary. -There are some great people who work there; talented, hard working and kind.

Cons

- I don't believe the business know who they are- the new vision of 'positive outcomes' is so oversimplified and obvious that it goes past the line of stupidity. It's unintelligent and unimaginative. -Managing directors who are narcissistic with no emotional intelligence should not be managing people. They need to learn to listen, rather than tell. Some people are natural managers, and some are not. Just because you are good at making money does not mean you should be leading and guiding a team. -I've seen horrendous treatment of others; bullying, racism, sexism and just general unpleasantness which isn't dealt with. If you want to work in a progressive and diverse environment, this is not it. -Lack of respect for researchers. Researchers deliver on all the promises you make to a client so listen to them, collaborate with them; it all seemed very hierarchical and dated.

Pros

Really nice colleagues in some locations

Cons

This company can‘t be trusted at all, contracts were breached, offices just closed by the will of the owner, hire and fire at its best! Also I would doubt that this company exists next year. If you work there, better don t trust the owner! Not a single moment ! Run as fast as you can before you lose your job. And Don t expect that he follows contract terms.

Many thanks for your comment. Over the last few months difficult decisions have had to be made, we certainly aren't the only company in this position. The decisions only impacted parts of our business that were not profitable or fit for purpose in the current economic environment. We wish you all the best in the future.
