Pros

Quality Of Design Excellent Projects Big and Changing Group of 20-30yo's to party with A few local office trips a year "art gallery/sports" Once a month they do a Friday in the office at 6 where you can watch somebody give a 6-minute presentation on their mediocre holiday and get a glass of whatever beer and wine was on offer down Tesco's Occasionally your manager will buy you a single round at the pub with the company card Sometimes after a big meeting, the partners will leave the scraps of M&S platter sandwiches and grapes for you to eat if your colleagues don't get there first £15 allowance for a deliveroo if you work past 9....Yaaaayyyy

Cons

Poor Pay "Some people pay more but that's them" was what I was told, expect the lower end of regional averages Low bonus's No Overtime pay but lots of overtime expected. Statutory Pension Contributions Statutory Holiday equates to 16 days non-mandatory allowance Bullying unchecked, one employee was told by a partner that "it was worse when Michael ran the place" Career progression is measured in decades Enjoy a freezing office in the winter and so hot they have to adjust opening hours in the summer. The smell of rats fermenting in the trench heating should top it all off Nowhere to eat lunch that isn't your desk Men's changing facilities so small I think I was as intimate with my colleagues as their spouses. Women's changing is the disabled loo Recently named with Foster's in the AJ & FAF's expose on overwork

Pros

Amazing projects. I've grown as a designer in this firm and the firm always sets goals to the excellence.

Cons

Low salaries, long working hours. It's pretty normal being at the office during the weekends. The overtime is not pay. The Dubai office it's a disappointing working space.
