Pros

MOST team members will be friendly Close to the tube station - Yeah there isn't much which is why I am talking about the walking distance...

Cons

Arena International (sub section of GlobalData) is the most incompetent workplace that I have ever experienced. First of all, the company does not invest any time in training (this is simply done through inexperienced managers) which makes the job becomes extremely dull. They will lie to you and make out that this 'career' has a future but they will hold a string in front of your and keep moving it further away, playing team members off against each other. There is no progression. They will not invest - they make you pay for tea and coffee - what makes you think you'll ever get an increase in wage?? I truly hope anyone who steps in to this company does not see themselves here for long. You CAN do way better. They do have a pro of hiring great people, but the management do not see this as a good thing. They pick on every little bit of work you do to make you feel like you are wrong, that you can't do your job…when really they need to take a long look in the mirror. 1 minute late in the morning? You’ll be making up for that for the next year! (I do not joke about the pettiness) I was a graduate when I started working here and I soon found that the environment started to drain my happiness. If possible, I would recommend staying clear.
