Pros

Central location Hard working CEO

Kontras

Have seen people get overworked so much and managers only try to blame you for being overworked. They say so much about their wellness week when in reality they hardly care what their employees are going through. Saw 3 employees go through such a rough time with their managers just because their expectations were way different than what was expected out of the other employees, micro managed to a level where you were forced to quit. Inspite of being extremely culturally diverse, felt racial discrimination within the team when the manager gave a bonus cut for a mistake which was also done by my British colleague and he instead was promoted.

Pros

- Similar-minded colleagues make an enjoyable work environment. - Flexible working schedule is useful. - Managers offer freedom to develop, and work autonomously. - Good progression opportunities (only if you're lucky).

Kontras

- The workload is AWFUL. You see it mentioned on almost every review on here, spanning years back, and they provide the same response about how they're working on it or actively looking at it. I can assure you that is a complete and utter lie. They do absolutely nothing to try and make workloads manageable, as they are constantly trying to cut costs, streamline teams, and most recently force redundancies and pay freezes. They may act performative on LinkedIn professing how much they care about your wellbeing, but they most definitely do not take any steps to make the job manageable within the time you have, and therefore everybody is stressed out and overworked. (I am sure they will provide the same banal AI-generated response here about how they're committed to making workloads more manageable, or something along those lines. Don't believe them.) - Base salaries are not competitive (partly why there's such high turnover). £33k for a Senior Executive role in London is terrible. You will also struggle to progress from there in most teams. - Disorganisation. Processes are convoluted, tedious, and waste lots of time. Too much admin & trivial nonsense is a large reason why the workload is too high (they have no idea how to solve this by the way).
