Pros

Not many pros. It used to be a great place to work, great collaboration and great ethos amongst teams. Then the business split and this new bunch, New Mountain Capital rocked into town. Placed a CEO called Dirk Bontridder in charge who lacks any kind of emotional intelligence - sorry intelligence and is overly focused on EBITDA. I know several people at the company who were doing great and thriving before he and his clowns arrived and who have since been made ill working there or have left.

Cons

Well as you can see from the pros which were not many all the cons have been listed. Work here if you want a soulless position, where you're worked to death with no incentives (they made it pretty much impossible to earn any bonus) whilst all the fat cats get fatter.

Pros

When I started as a contracted Employee back in 2019 working from home one or two days a week wasn’t even an option. Now after Covid, we had the option to return to work, a hybrid arrangement or completely work from home. I chose to work from home and it’s been the best and easiest way to stay on top of priorities and be able to take care of things around the house at the same time.

Cons

Ruff patches when we got bought out but things are getting much better
