      Pros

      Borough Market is just down the road and that's really nice for lunch. The office is brand new but they underestimated how many people there are and now everyone is horridly cramped.

      Cons

      In the last few months the IT team has gone to rock bottom. They have brought in new management who are the last people I (or you probably) want to work for. Childish, back stabbing, gossiping and incompetent are just a few words I'd use to describe the new boss. I'll be leaving just as soon as i've found a new position anywhere. Should you end up at an interview here I'd ask them why there are hiring so many new people. "All the existing staff hate it and the management and so they are all leaving" is the truthful answer they probably wont give you. Oh and if they talk about 'cultures and values' stop listening immediately. Every word is a lie. Trust me on this one or just ask for evidence of what they do when things get a little tough.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear such a negative view and accept that we have had some issues in our IT function. IT and enterprise resource planning are critical to our success and we must get it right. We have now made some organisational changes to ensure that the function has strong leadership, is fit for purpose and is no longer over-reliant on contractors.
