Pros

Good employee benefits and lovely fellow colleagues.

Cons

Promotion only achievable through higher level employees going on leave, and you taking over their responsibilities for a few months before proving you are capable of higher level work. A very demotivating way of promotion that is not given through personal progression, but by taking on more and more work from the department until you receive good 'exposure'. The average pay is one of the lowest in Greater London.

Unhappy and stuck

Pros

My immediate boss is professional and nice, but is very busy. Free food on Fridays, although it is always pizza now and used to be more varied. Nice people to work with.

Cons

Department turnover is too high. I have to take work home with me on weekends because it is impossible to do everything I have been given due to the turnover. Additionally, it seems to take them over a month to hire replacements for positions where people have left or been terminated. This is confusing because of the extensive interview process they do to get the "perfect" candidates, there is a disconnect between what the employee and employer finds perfect, I guess.

Super easy internship

Pros

I interned here and my boss was great. Not a micromanager. The work for my job was so easy and apparently I worked faster and better than all the offsite freelancers they hired since than was literally what my boss told me. SO EASY.

Cons

This was over a year ago i understand they changed buildings but idk how it looks. Anyway no one talked AT ALL which I find odd for a company full of younger recent college grads. Silent as a mouse in there! Now I understand loud chatting is distracting and inappropriate for work but is everyone that shy they can't have slight banter with someone they sit by every day? So weird. Like I went to a way better school than Cal Lutheran but everyone is in college (interns) or went to college if they're in an entry level cubicle job since they don't hire people without a degree. It's not hard work or coding that requires 100% silence.
