Pros

- Nice office in the city - Most people are friendly - A few that know their area really well

Cons

- No exciting projects in the pipeline. Sometimes no projects at all. Being on the bench for *only* 4 months was completely normal. A lot of people did leave because of this. - Seems a good place for scrum masters and project managers but not so much for technical people that want to learn and grow. Big focus on selling process (agile/jira/post-its) but not technology. There are more project managers than developers. - Attempts of selling technology (i.e: _build) reusing formulas from the US and Canada didn't work in the European market. - Some very bad people managers - Some people that just talks

Growing a business is exciting, challenging and sometimes frustrating. We’ve focussed on caring for our people through a tough year while also being flexible to our clients needs. Happily, our technology team has been so busy with a variety of cool tech projects in the past 6 months that we’re hiring top tech talent as fast as we can right now, both in London and Manchester. We’re sorry you’re not able to see the results of everyone’s hard work, and wish you the very best in the future.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
