Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the feedback, both positive and constructive. In terms of development - we have a variety of internal courses available and do support our employees with progression, be it sideways movements or training. I would advise speaking to your manager or HR colleagues on the steps/ opportunities you can utilize to get to the next stage in your career. Reinold Talent Acquisition Manager

Pros

Great at developing young designers and you are able to talk to so many different knowledgeable people. People generally want to do the best thing for the industry.

Cons

For all the constant change that is attempted in the organisation, there are too many stuck in their ways middle to upper management that are great a resisting the changes so that nothing really fundamentally changes. So much red tape that restricts innovation and serious people being able to effectively manage a team.
