Pros

You will probably love every job after this one. Nice colleagues (for a while, as everybody leaves or get sacked after a few weeks)

Cons

I'll try to break it down to segments to put the madness into words: 1. Recruitment: You can interview there twice and nobody will realise that you are the same person (this has actually happened, so maybe an advantage for people who are desperate for a job?). They will be desperate to hire you whatever they you tell them as they have such a high staff turnover that they will always have vacancies to fill. They will not tell you about the working conditions (9,5 hours a day, no sick pay) before you 'have' to sign the contract Working conditions: Face scanning every morning (the only 'tech' thing about this 'tech' company. CCTV In the office. No breaks allowed. No phone usage (and if you think they can't see it, trust me they can!). Tracking of every website you use. The only safe space is the bathroom (I hope), where you can regularly witness people crying and having mental breakdowns. You will meet talented, smart and lovely people and then watch them get sacked for no reason or constantly being depressed and exhausted. The job: While the variety of tasks seems interesting at first, there is no possibility to progress or move on in your career at any point. There is no training, just absolute chaos and no communication between the departments. Everybody is talking about 'targets' and nobody actually sets targets. Salary: While the salary seems ok at first, please take into account that they will take any chance to deduct money off your salary. If you are 10 minutes late they'll take half a day off your salary. If you miss a day of work (even with a doctors note) you won't get paid at all. All in all, they have no ethics. London is such a competitive place, but this 'company' is not worth sacrificing your physical and mental health for. If you still have doubts, look up the reviews for 'Vectone', their actual product.

Pros

Birthday' celebration with free food on Fridays You can negotiate good wage (but no benefits at all, minimum holiday, no health insurance...) Canary wharf location As everyone knows that this is a bad company, there is a high solidarity and strong relationship between colleagues

Cons

Everything is about the mood boss. If he likes you and is in a good mood, you can almost have a normal work life (If you are a white skin girl, French or Italian you have more chance) but the most he likes you, the most he will hate you, one day without reason he will get bored about you and stop to talk to you, don't look at you anymore. If they fired you and you have a notice period, nobody is allowed to talk to you (because "there is no point" and people can be fired for that) so you are simply rejected, even they move your desk with nobody around you! If you have a strong personality, think and express yourself you can't stay a long time there. They like "slave" people who work and don't feel, just obey without thinking. The few people who are there for a long time, work in a fear, stay late every day (after 6.30), work for free every Saturday. Don't expect to have a team spirit, share idea in a team, to be trained from a senior profile as you can"t talk. If you talk, they don't care if it about the work, they think you are chatting and you can be fired. You can be fired every day, for any reason. Be late, talk, use your phone, boss mood.. You are recorded, filmed and observed by the boss. Massive turnover, every day there is new faces as everyday people resign or get fired. The main question is "who is the next?. You don't work with the serenity feeling, nobody is safe! If you are in the company for more than 6 months, people looked at you like a survivor. Managment... Boss approves everything for every little thing he has to agree, so depending on his mood, he can decide that this is not what he likes/wants and makes change everything. If he wants to change something, don't think, don't suggest, just do it! Because his mood changes every time, of course, this is very hard to keep guidelines and have a consistent brand identity.

Pros

Just to respect the wordcount of 20 minimum i would say jump directly to cons. If you don't want to get the worst experience of your life never go there.

Cons

Cult of the boss.Case of modern slavery where each employee needs to litterally run after the boss all day if he does not want to get fired. Do forget you have a brain and just follow what the boss the KING says. Terror regime: you will be spied all day long. The boss will litterally stands behind your back to check what you are doing.Every computer has sypware estimating how much productive you are. Don't use the phone to call your colleagues because every conversation is recorded.Someone is appointed to listen to them and report to the boss bad conversation. You have to scan you face everytime you leave or enter the building and if you work 1 minute less half day pay gone. Do not take breaks or talk to your colleagues just stare at your computer and work No work and life balance you stay there from 8 to 18h30 and 10 to 16 on saturdays. High turnover: don't create frienships people come and go so fast that you can't even see their face properly Do not expect too much from hr. Wrong contract with fake names; wrong addresses; wrong payslips, payment delay
