Pros

Mainly, the people there are great, friendly & hardworking. The ethos of Ted Happold used to be something to be proud of, but it’s just a joke now.

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit you can find yourself being shown the door, despite many years of loyal service and nothing but positive feedback. Shocking! Senior management are bullies; with little to no conscience or ethics. Morale is at an all time low, with unethical behaviour, by Senior HR, Executives and others in positions of power & confidence, being openly discussed by staff at all levels, & what’s worse, seemingly condoned by the Partners.

Pros

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Cons

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
