Lots of opportunity and amazing people
Pros
I work in research in Glasgow and have been with the company for a couple of years. I love working for the company, its really fast paced with aspirations to expand into Europe. Theres a real togetherness in the office and I've never worked with such a great bunch of people. The company really invests in you, my new starter training was 4 weeks and the career progression path means you can get promoted quickly and get a pay rise. The technology is cool too, everyone has 3 screens on there desk and a ipad. It's a really open office and there's always social events being arranged, I've made loads of friends in the office. The managers are really good and always try to support you and help you, most of them have done the research job so understand what you need to do. The directors are really friendly too and there's regular company briefings so everyone knows what's happening in the company and they always talk with passion about what we do and the part we play in the company's success. Oh, and I love the GHDs and the beer trolley
Cons
I would have said the lack of flexibility in hours but flexi time was introduced last month and its been great. It's made such a difference and is really popular in the office. Another thing would have been targets, I've always hit my targets and earned a good bonus every quarter but I know some people can find it difficult but these were changed at the start of the month and now I only have 3 KPIs. Three were lots of positive changes at the start of this quarter so I don't really have anything I'm not happy about.
