      Pros

      - Attractive working environment with free barista, gym annual parties and guaranteed travel abroad for most roles other benefits include health insurance options, cycle to work schemes etc. - Entrepreneurial mentality that encourages creativity - Generally positive culture and the possibility to progress quickly with dedication and interpersonal skills

      Cons

      - Salaries can be low for London, especially given that the company asks a lot of their staff - The classic cult-like oddness and politics the higher up you get - Training can be lacking (very, in some cases) with sometimes poor oversight from senior management

      Pros

      Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

      Cons

      Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
