Pros
Role - travel abroad once-twice per year for conferences, good networking opportunities, useful as a first role in IP or first graduate role as there is a steep learning curve and direct client work early on, notice period is always 1 week and often is on garden leave.
Senior staff - none.
Cons
Role - low pay in comparison to market rate, no salary reviews, micro-managing from managers, ideas for improvement dismissed and ignored, focus of work is quantity not quality, in-house training is of a low quality (generally left to 'figure it out').
Senior staff - not open to change, behaviour from senior staff that borders on harrassment, fear tactics, gender discrimination, disregard of mental health issues of its employees, focus on increasing profit not on increasing value or the quality of services, sick employees are effectively looked down on for their absence, staff are regularly off sick from stress.
