Pros

A few genuinely talented, kind individuals doing great work despite the system • Some project teams show strong collaboration and care

Cons

• Not a design-led or customer-centric company — design and research are undervalued • Disorganised structure with poor communication, unclear roles, and shifting priorities • Favouritism and a cliquey culture that affects opportunity and inclusion • Weak leadership and a lack of strategic vision • Behind on technology — especially AI — driven by fear, not innovation • No training, development funding, or clear growth paths • Career progression is ambiguous and inconsistent • You’ll feel like a number in a badly oiled machine, rather than a valued contributor • Innovation is surface-level and often reactive, not embedded in the culture

Pros

Great work environment. Real commitment to diversity that goes beyond the surface level.

Cons

Thin spread of employees that results in a lot of work on each contributor individually.

Pros

Great well known clients & interesting projects.

Cons

There are no growth opportunities; people managers don't know how to lead; there are layoffs every 2 months for the past 18 months; there is no training (employees are told to learn on their own time / weekends) because if they are not >50% chargeable, they are on the RIF list. The company grew through acquisitions but never integrated or unified the various companies. There are no standard processes, everything is ad hoc. There were no raises this year and no bonuses either of the last 2 years.
