Pros

Convenient location and nothing else.

Cons

1. Always have "internal training" at midnight during my local time (peak: 5 days a week), and no compensation for overwork 2. Very low traffic subsidy with working location far away from public transport (probably need to use my own salary to take taxi) 3. Micromanagement and very emotional GM, will suddenly mad at colleagues when they said something he does not like, and will be against them personally. 4. Bad mannered fellow colleagues, when I got in, I was left by my manager and "trained" by this colleague. The first thing he said to me is that "your position is not that essential I take over your job anyways". And did not give proper trainings, whenever I asked him regarding product info he always tell me to look for them in Google or Brochure, he has no obligation to teach me. 4. Unsupportive manager: after my manager knew, they never try to listen to me, and said it was a good chance for me to search online and learn by myself and I was like: I am in this company, why do I have to search company's product online instead of given a proper training by internal staff??????? And this place was full of these kind of people, super toxic

Pros

Working here means being part of a well-respected global tech giant. Beyond the excellent benefits and professional environment, the standout feature is the degree of independence you're given. It’s a great place for those who thrive when given the freedom to own their work.

Cons

RMS Sales UK offers a professional environment and strong market standing, but the internal culture can be unpredictable. Advancement and resource allocation (such as sector focus and budget) are often subject to sudden shifts without staff consultation. There is a noticeable lack of transparency in how seniority is determined, with social visibility and 'cultural fit' often outweighing objective performance. Communication from management can be inconsistent; feedback often lacks a clear trajectory, making long-term planning difficult. Ensuring a paper trail for all recruitment and performance promises is essential here.
