A shallow company with zero social purpose
Pros
Some interesting projects Good cafe in the office
Cons
To succeed here you need to become a narcissist and leave any sense of morality at the door. Poor behaviors, bluster, arrogance and smarmy theft of credit from others is rewarded, often handsomely. Internally teams fight each other for business, there's no sense of fair play, and anything goes - just as long as the $s keep rolling in. Keep selling at all costs, keep growing the account, it doesn't matter if its unsustainable, or not in you clients actual direct interests, you'll still get a nice bonus. The company spends a fortune on positive PR and sponsoring events to make it look like a credible option to the large brokers. It speaks about being 'people first', and 'employee owned', when actually it's people are given pay freezes and fired at will - people are treated like commodities. The company keeps changing its name, its strategy and direction - read into that what you will. Graduates are promised so much but in reality given photocopying and tea making duties. Some escape and get good managers, vast majority want to leave. Those that have made it to the top live in fear of being ousted by their underlings, its a fear culture and an unhealthy place for those that value their sanity. So many senior managers just 'disappear' via NDAs. If you stick around too long you'll become one of them, it turns good people into bad actors. Avoid.
