Pros

A lot of lovely people who really care about the business Amazing gym Private Medical Refuel Hybrid working model

Cons

Losing their most valuable members of staff due to not looking after them properly Not competitive in pay Priorities are all wrong Spent all their money on offices that people don't work in, instead of paying people what they're worth 'Panic hired' the wrong people during lockdown who are now running the business No clear progression anymore Clique-y environment

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are currently in a 're-build' phase, which means your feedback is helpful in contributing towards our improvement plans. We would like to stress that our number one priority is always our people, although this may not be easy to see in a structure review. We have also now developed a Performance Culture plan for all employees so they are able to focus on their progression, and their career goals.

Pros

Nice location, gym, refuel etc.

Cons

Directors / Upper management who have no idea running the show. No progression. Over hired many people to solve a problem they do not even know nor understand. Awful bonus scheme. Highly woke culture that makes for a very toxic working environment.

Pros

- Free gym membership - Free £5 lunch voucher

Cons

- Under paid - No pay rises & don't invest in current staff - Invest more in buildings that are empty than actual employees - Leadership don't know how to align on strategy and priorities creating toxic and frustration amongst, and between teams - Make it seem amazing on Linked In etc, but it's not what it seems - Constant false promises in terms of promotions and timelines - Company values don't match actions from CEO and leadership

I’m really sorry that you felt the opportunity and support for you to develop in the business wasn’t there, we offer a plethora of tools and expertise to enable this to happen. I can see that you were with us for some time so it’s a shame that you didn’t have access to this across your tenure. Thank you for being so open and honest about your experience of working with us as it can be challenging to voice how you truly feel.
