Pros

Virtually none. Below senior management there are some highly intelligent and very nice people but sadly they don’t stick around long due to the way management treat them and constant change of direction. I wont be either! Great location.

Cons

Sadly the list is long, hence my point above, some examples include: Start- up mentality for a PLC Poor infrastructure & IT Lack of direction from senior management Very very poor benefits and no career ladder or reviews. Outside the circle of trust (this can be counted on one hand) everyone else is treated very poorly. Company that does not values its most important asset (the people)

Pros

Decent office location. Close to the station and right by the river, Plenty of lunch places etc nearby.

Cons

Junior staff members are exploited by being required to work extremely long hours for no reward 40 hour week, presumably to make it difficult for people to interview elsewhere. Wages probably dip below minimum hourly wage given actual hours can be 50+ No tea/coffee or even access to hot water. Staff on ridiculously low wages expected to purchase such things at a profit making canteen on site Management dangle fake/worthless promotions in front of staff in a desperate attempt to retain them Management is almost universally rude and aggressive. Attempts are made to break the spirits of employees. Complaints made about inappropriate conduct of staff members are ignored The rare members of staff who have worked at the company for more than 6 months have forgotten what normal companies are like and have resigned themselves to bringing in their own stationary and flasks of tea, which is terribly sad. CEO and top management motivated by one thing - personal greed. Lack of investment in people or products in order to squeeze every last penny of profits is a cynical strategy.
