Pros

Some very capable colleagues, some very nice, some good managers. Some good work and clients. But vice versa too!

Cons

Worknest comprises lots of unrelated companies, who have little to do with each other. Used to be owned by Marlowe plc. Sold to private equity investors. Red flag right there. Research carefully if you’re thinking of joining- who knows if and when it will get broken up. Some aggressive colleagues, partly work pressure induced. Some treat others badly if you get on the wrong side of them. Lot of things aren’t done professionally or correctly, ironic given we advise clients how to treat their staff properly. Very pressured and pay is low.

Pros

The company takes into account feedback from employees and implements accordingly. The workload distribution is much better. The salary is fair.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Uncompromising in their approach to treating their staff

Cons

You can't blame people when they are put in a fishbowl of pressure for unrealistic results for investors but also the senior team is a boys club who will do anything to keep their position.
