Pros

Good benefits and nice colleagues

Cons

Office location is good if you live in london. Otherwise a nightmare with only 2 parking spaces! Lack of clarity from leadership with very unrealistic expectations. Trying to act like a big pharma but with very little resource investment

Lack of Trust

Pros

Some nice people work here who are dedicated to making a difference.

Cons

Certain leaders get away with just blatant running down of peoples characters. They continue to allow bullying especially from one individual female. They know who she is. This won’t change as she is a general dogs body to her boss. The leadership in sales and marketing is appalling- it’s very much if ‘your face doesn’t fit’ culture.

Not a nice place to be

Pros

Met some nice people over the years but most of them left

Cons

Someone already mentioned it here, most of the company is mates hired by mates. So if you are not part of the group, you will not get far. There is no real promotions and room to improve, unless you ask for it. Meaning that if you keep quiet and do your job, you will never get promoted. On the other hand, people who just talk and don't do much will get relly far, just because they know who to smille at and get overexcited about everything they saying. If a majority of your team is in another country (France), you won't be included in most of the discussions or planning, or if you are included they will just send you a 10 days worth of emails, that are all in French and ask you to replay. HR is terrible, if you complain of being mistreated or bullying, it will probably be you leaving the company.
