Pros

Fun pub sessions on Friday, a few nice grads who are looking to start out in London. Location not bad

Cons

Where to start.. Bullying managers who constantly bellow at you to work harder and make some money, despite the product being utterly useless (which they are all very much aware of). Extremely unpleasant staff higher up who purposefully lie to you about how to succeed, you essentially have to lie a lot and put up with micro managing on steroids. Foul office with no facilities except a few bathrooms, and chewing gum all over the floors. You can't sit down while you're on the phone and they ask you to 100% source your own leads so you end up staying late and coming in early EVERY day. For love of god don't work here unless you're an undercover journalist or a sadist who likes being bollocked for things completely out of your control and what isn't your fault. Grads, it will ruin your confidence and make you hate work. 0 stars

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
