Pros

Some of the amazing staff on the teams

Cons

They will work hard to get some of the best talent but then it goes all wrong. Whilst they believe they focus on culture the reality is their work culture policy just exists on paper. I witnessed almost daily humiliation of good staff. The team would rally around each other to support whoevers turn it was that particular day. Senior management have formed an impermeable clique and it was impossible to reason or make an argument for a different view. You're seen as the problem if you try. UK employment legislation and worker rights were seen as a challenge or openly ignored. I've seen able employees suddenly put on improvement plans, contrary to process, without warning. Here's the trick, suddenly an individual will be moved off the account for a perceived reason and benched. No available roles so then they're gone. This appears to be the normal route to dismiss employees without the fuss of formal process. Working there was exhausting. A shame because they obtained, and would regularly lose, amazing staff.
