Pros

- Excellent location in new lovely offices with open spaces – definitely an upgrade. - CEO promotes transparency and open door policy. - The company is expanding and currently counts with offices in London, New York and Hong Kong – Good time to join.

Cons

- Some managers are filling these positions for the first time. Although they might have good industry knowledge, they lack experience, confidence and people’s skills for the level of responsibility they hold. - Some teams work way much more than others. Although noticed, it gets ignored. No lieu days offered when travelling on the weekend or working long hours on business demand. - There is no in-house HR team which makes some situations very awkward. - Although the company culture is good, your experience will depend on who is your manager, as in many other jobs, I guess.

PEI Group Response

Thank you for your commentary on your experience at PEI. PEI continues to build and grow as a company and we're not getting everything right yet. Its correct that some of our group leaders and managers need support and training as we grow. 2019 has seen us invest in group HR and one of the objectives of our HR leader is to consider our requirements for training and development of our management cohort. This is in train and I expect to be able to commence with a rolling programme shortly. We're also currently recruiting to add further HR resource because we recognised the need to invest in this area - again to support us as a we grow. I trust you will be able to notice the change either now or shortly. Recognising that Glassdoor isn't the place for a private conversation, I do appreciate your comments here and would welcome you to come and talk to me about any views you have that can help us make this an even better business. Thanks. Tim McLoughlin CEO.

Leads come in through CRM and you have a bunch

Cons

Some of the verticals are just bad compared to others and the quota doesn’t reflect that.
