Pros

Central London location, free weekly supermarket shop, room for growth.

Cons

Shopcade is not a company I'd recommend to anyone, the absolute lack of leadership, direction and transparency makes it a negative work environment. Staff were continually taken advantage of, and the company did not fulfil basic HR needs. There were motivated and talented members of the team, however, when there's no respect or dialogue with the CEO and other senior staff it's difficult to keep this motivation going. The high turn over of staff illustrates this widespread dissatisfaction .

Pros

- Bagels, fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and snacks delivered weekly from Ocado. - The people who have moved on from working here usually tend to do quite well for themselves in terms of next company, salary increase, and overall package.

Cons

- Bar a select few, the constant hiring of interns means the Editorial and Commericial teams are unable to elevate the overall standard of their work due to to compromising on quality. The time spent managing and teaching some interns basic skills such as how to send a package at the post office is exasperating. Management continues to make poor recruitment choices to save money. - Some permanent staff were also fairly incompetent; for example, one team member knew how to configure something in CMS and had been doing a particular task for over a year but one day, suddenly said they "forgot" how to do it. This was literally a one-click task... Keep in mind that these are very small examples contributing to large problems causing everyday discontent and frustration.
