Pros

Some of the most incredible & talented people I've ever had the privilege of working with (with the exception of senior management). It will be such a shame to see so many great people undoubtedly leave in 2025 as it becomes a big corporate (with zero benefits)

Cons

- Zero benefits considering we're part of such a large "group". No medical/ mental health support etc - Zero communication skills from senior management- often emails are sent at 4.59pm announcing the latest departures Above all, Sideshow DO NOT value the people that keep these clients serviced, happy and ultimate making revenue. - High workloads with little/ no rewards e.g. no pay rises for 3+ years - Promotion freeze since 2021 - Painfully evident that it's owned by private equity. Everything needs a "business case" to be signed off. - Responsibility increases/ job title changes without the pay to reflect this - Sorely lacking culture compared to how it was previously
