Pros

You get thrown into the deep end, so you learn fast. You'll be exposed to long days, hard deadlines, (you might even be made to work for free) and you'll have to deal with misogyny, bullying and harassment. So you naturally become resilient, hard working and you'll learn self respect (if you leave early enough). You'll build strong relationships with your colleagues and be able to conquer anything once you've left.

Cons

Bad management, older men talking over women in meetings - not letting them get a word in. Not listening to staff who work with the process and understand more than they could. Sexual harassment, pushing things under the rug. You'll be treated like a teenager at school, senior staff think they are the holy grail of existence and expect you to treat them that way. No bonuses, no perks.

Pros

Flex start time is ok.

Cons

After minimal training on their archaic and broken systems, I knew it wasn’t going to work. Nightmare. I was messaged on Slack by one of the owners to tell me every mistake if made in a scolding manner. CAPS, !! And all. I even got an “ARGHH!” Never have I ever. Don’t accept bad treatment. You work with cameras on you and they eavesdrop. I have photos to prove all.

Pros

The salary may seem competitive at first glance, but there's usually a catch — especially in sales/admin/marketing roles, where the MD is heavily involved. The only genuinely good thing about this place is the team. The staff are talented, kind, and supportive — despite the culture they’re stuck in by leadership.

Cons

The working environment at this company is dictated entirely by the managing director’s behaviour — and it’s overwhelmingly negative. The MD is involved in every detail of the business and manages through fear, not leadership. Micromanagement is constant, and feedback is often delivered through shouting, public humiliation, and outright disrespect. The culture is so demoralising. It's difficult to raise concerns or improve things because the issues stem from the very top. Many of the positive reviews here appear to be faked or encouraged by the admin team, which doesn’t reflect the day-to-day reality. If you're considering working here, my honest advice is: don’t. Its really not worth it!!
