Absolutely useless company.

Pros

Pretty office, free coffee too

Cons

The company is useless - they promoted an “outsider” to CEO so he can take they blame for their poor management, as it’s hard to manage a company properly when you’re only there every few months. HR is more concerned with tea club and breaking confidentiality than doing their actual jobs. Recruitment was barely scathed during layoffs, so that they can continue to have their team lunches and only use external recruiters. Meanwhile, the rest of the staff are underpaid, promised bonuses the company can’t afford, and told that an occasional lunch and free coffee makes up for it. The people who were made redundant got lucky, they had an easy out.
