Pros

Given lots of independence Good social atmosphere amongst the staff

Cons

Zero strategy, just chasing any old revenue from one month to next Business is run on a shoestring to preserve profit for the owners 'Senior managers' have no experience and don't know what they're doing Most of the positive reviews on here were written by the managers

Pros

Clean office environment, flexi-time (but very much at your manager's discretion), some social events, a varied range of interesting clients to work with/for

Cons

The management structure is a shambles, no hierarchical organisation, AMs end up doing the jobs of SAE and vice-versa so all over the place, don't expect any real kind of orientation of how your role fits into the bigger picture etc. If you are new to the AM role, and come from outside, look out, you're in for a bad time and really very much on your own and if you sink you're out on your before you know it - even if you do broadly great quality work. They tried to get me to ask a favour from a contact in the energy industry to get them a new client, even though they fired me the very same afternoon (luckily I didn't bother calling that favour in) - untrustworthy bunch.

Pros

Decent benefits and office location. Some good basic insights if you're new to the industry and want to get started.

Cons

Senior staff have favourites and don't care about the rest of the team. Unorganised and lack of communication. HR is inexistent. Low pay for the industry and long hours. Very limited career progression opportunities.
