Pros

Great office location (5 minutes away from two different tube stations)

Cons

Although the building is beautifully designed it’s actually infected with mice, which run across the floor and desks. No work life balance at all! They overload their staff with work and expect them to stay working over and beyond their actual hours. Hardly anyone has a lunch because of this environment. Severely unpaid and under appreciated hence the high turnover. Job that you apply for won’t be the job that you end up doing. Senior management are cliquey and have their favourites. Nothing is optional, everything is mandatory.

Great client base Great reputation Most coworkers are highly motivated Great benefits program and a lot of people trying to do the right thing for our clients and for employees

Cons

Culture changing for the worse New executive leadership is trying to turning the company towards a big bank/Visa culture which doesn't match our client base Shoot first, ask later mentality

Pros

Great benefits. Great platform to attract new talent and new innovative technology companies. Work with smart people who consistently challenge you.

Cons

Very political. Reviews are based on personality and less on your work. The c suite is out of touch. Upward feedback is filed away and rarely are management held accountable for their actions.
