A real shame

Pros

Strict interview process means they only hire more than capable people who are like minded and become the best team you’ll probably ever work with. The people is the best thing about this job, followed by its perks of fancy offices, good salaries and bonuses - if you hit them. Kitted out with all the latest gadgets which is great.

Cons

All of that can only last so long though. To be treated like a child, micromanaged to the point of ridicule is not how you want to spend your days. The amount of plates you have to spin is insane as the other reviews say and it’s only sustainable for so long. No one can be under that much stress and pressure without it affecting their mental health or physical health. It’s a real shame - they have a great product and some great clients but need to split out the new business and account management to bring less pressure on staff and better results. CEO is a billionaire toddler who throws his toys out of the pram on a regular basis and won’t let anyone make any decisions without him. That means big global decisions and events cancelled and changed last minute depending on what mood he’s in. Just avoid unless you really have no other choice!

The definition of corporate purgatory

Pros

The benefita have improved over the years, which now allows them to lure fresh graduates hungry for any job exprerience (most will leave in a year or two)

Cons

The rest of it: management, work atmosphere, crazy turnover, pointless meetings and ridiculous all-hands to stroke CEO's ego, endless grind without any real career chance (at least, in my field), uptight upper management that treat you like an expendable cog and would probably treat you even worse if the law allowed it, profit-only mindset. Also it's really telling when multiple former colleagues tell how their mental health has improved after leaving the company.

Pros

- People (same with every job) - 9-5 hours

Cons

Where do I begin. Treated like a child. No career progression. Constantly micromanaged. Repetitive work. No flexibility
