Pros

Amazing office space and location. My colleagues were great. Good team environment and support when you seek it out

Cons

At the time my onboarding was not the best and sales targets were a little unrealistic. The targets were altered eventually but that was well after 6 months with the company.

Getty Images Response

Horrible place

Pros

No pros, at first you’ll get lots of promises, but don’t be fooled.

Cons

Toxic environment. Hard work is not rewarded. Most of the managers are only in their positions because anyone decent left. They have a hierarchy type approach and all the employees below them actually doing all the work are treated badly. No work life balance, unattainable targets, no proper support from management.
