Pros

- Fantastic colleagues - Good first job - Opportunities to use language skills

Cons

- Crazy work/life balance where being able to respond to clients at 11pm on a Sunday was praised in cultish meetings but no overtime pay - Clients treat you like a call centre service and have no respect for you as an individual - You feel defined by numbers, when a lot of metrics are completely beyond your control (you end up measuring youe self worth based on whether experts or clients join calls) - Repetitive work which any Oxbridge/Russell Group grad (who they target) will find dull within weeks. No intellectual stimulation

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
