Wouldn't recommend - London Office

Relationship advisor
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

On paper it looks like a cool place to work. The hardware provided is modern and the office space is quite new & very central in the city.

Cons

The job you end up doing is nowhere near the job you applied for. Work life balance doesn't exist. Management and staff are cliquey and unfriendly to anyone outside of their little 'gangs'. It's like being in high school, lots of whispers & eye rolling. Management completely micro manage everything, no ability to work your own way. It's the managers way or no way. Salary doesn't reflect the amount of hours, or the job. Massively under staffed so everyone is constantly trying to blunder through huge work loads.

Two of our key values are to start with empathy for others and speak and act with integrity. These values drive what we do and how we do it every day, and we believe it's critical that we live these values throughout the company. We will share your feedback internally.

Pros

Nice central London location. Good place to start a career ( but move on) Some of the people are genuine

Cons

Have to be in a clique in order to progress even if your capable and do the job well- however being inside the clique means you can internet shop all day. The new office regularly has major issues. The management enforce the values yet don't live by them nor can they actually explain what they mean in anything other than politician speak. No real processes, training or instruction unless "step 1- find problem" "step 2- solve problem" helps in any way.
