Everyone that works here is hard-working, passionate about their titles and supportive. The vibe in the office is quite relaxed, and you are trusted to get on with your job.

Offices could do with a lick of paint and new carpets. And maybe one day the lift will be repaired!

Pros

The brands are amazing, teams try hard and do some amazing things, there is room for improvements which gives opportunities to work on exciting projects.

Cons

Some people in small areas like to moan rather than get on with making a difference, not as many as before but still a few. Remote working can be a challenge to focus and collaboration.
