Pros

friendly co-workers, managers who see themselves not as something higher but someone who can't be without their team, "london bonus" aka 6% of your salaray as little extra because living in London is so expensive, lots of free stuff from your own department as well as the others (food and non-food!)

Cons

unorganised hr, confused managers who depend on their team rather than their own brains, can't leave your desk until your work is done (and you're not being paid by hours, so working over time doesn't get paid), some days it's boring - then other days you get a heart attack from the stress because someone else screwed up/didn't tell you in time.

Pros

Without sounding too harsh, I can't pick any pros about working for this company. The atmosphere in the building is extremely uncomfortable. -I thought the money was good (not the graduate programme) but soon realised that it wasnt!

Cons

-Management literally look down their nose at you, especially if you are new -training was the worst I had ever seen. First hour in the building and I was expected to understand the database and excels platforms they use. -extreme internal issues within teams. I joined a team of 2 who wouldn't even speak to each other so clearly I was never going to do well as both of them expected the other to train me. -even if you are the new person they certainly didn't hold back with blaming you if anything went wrong.
