Pros

*Fantastic opportunities to grow *Nature of the Job I enjoyed * People in the wider business were friendly and supportive and recognised my hard work resulting in promotion. *Great company ethics * Fantastic employee benefits & Pension Scheme * Great employee incentives * Regular meetings with the wider business and opportunities to network * Opportunities to train and mentor others * Good office facilities

Cons

* High turnover of staff during the 5 years I was employed there due to the poor working environment and attitude of management. This directly contributed to gossip, office politics and areas of the team being understaffed regularly. * Due to stress at work I suffered poor mental health which further deteriorated and led to other mental health concerns. When no support was given to me when i asked for it, I was actually given more work and told to just get on with it! This led to me having a breakdown and having to take extended time off work resulting in my resignation. * In order to feel that i could go back to work from being on LTS, I had a relaxed discussion with management where my concerns were raised. I needed to know that I would not be treated like that again and would need to feel supported by my team, and in response to this management was dismissive and would not take any responsibility for knowingly making things more difficult for me when I was asking for help. I felt i had no alternative but to resign. * The HR department dealing with my LTS and RTW processes were well organised but were not able to take the necessary actions to resolve the situation I was in.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
