Great brands, poor morale

Pros

Fantastic international brands and creative, inspiring employees. Great location in central London and all the support of a big corporation.

Cons

Terrible morale due to ongoing restructuring and a feeling that no job is secure. Salaries are generally considered to be lower than competitors with hardly any opportunities for promotion or pay increases.

Pros

It's a nice office space, but in the middle of tourist season it can be quite overwhelming

Cons

Very cliquey environment, bad management and poor career progression. Salaries are low for the amount of workload needed. There have also been quite a few redundancies in the past years.
