Pros

Remote working was available to me which was very helpful. Manchester office is pleasant and a nice place to work.

Cons

In my experience:- Average salaries. Non-existent bonus. Payroll function is a shambles with frequent non-payment or payment of wrong amount. Poor management. Promotions Board is a sham and is nothing more than a PR exercise. No strategic direction - The equity partnership and CEO seem devoid of ...well, anything. Crisis mode 24/7. Too many egos in positions of 'authority'...i.e. most managers think they're the most clever, important person in the room which leads to no knowledge sharing, no interest in others' points of view and therefore no progress is made. Don't expect any career progression as no one actually cares or wants to help their colleagues develop. The talent that is there is being wasted due to all of the above. Company performance and stability looks awful...and from an insider's view, it's not hard to see why.
