Pros

Finishing work at 4 o'clock.

Cons

No training in house or otherwise. Not able to use own initiative or implement ideas or better/modern ways of doing things. It is Mr Lunts way or no way. No small talk allowed and no team building encouraged. Terrible working environment. Totally miserable. Staff are expected to know what to do and how the Director wants things done without any training or information when they start. No training or job description of duties and responsibilities. Management are patronising in their communication. They are quick to quite publicly reprimand staff in front of colleagues. They dont listen. Lots of hiring and firing. No problems firing staff out of the blue regardless of contract and legal obligations. Tens of staff have come and gone from this business. Much smaller company than they like to portray - around 15 employees max. Half the building is empty so they have to spread out and bring friends/family in to bulk it out when clients visit. Everyone I know who has left this company has done so due to the same aforementioned reasons. The company have lost a number of excellent professional candidates from all areas of the business.

Awful management

Pros

Interesting products to work on

Cons

They are arrogant to say the least. They treat their staff very poorly and use 'bonus' as a way to get staff to work ridiculous hours. If you don't do ridiculous hours or invent something they can instantly sell, you can forget your bonus. Also the management are control freaks. They don't like staff making small talk which is necessary when you work in the technical side as technology can fry your brain and you need that outlet to build relationships with people you work with. When you do work, anything you produce can/will be scrutinised and will even be deleted or re-written by someone else without you even knowing!

Pros

Pays the bills, parking, nice area, flexible hours (well, almost).

Cons

Dreadful atmosphere - silence, apart from loud phone calls. Arrogant management - always right! Customers are "clueless muppets". No personal development - no training at all. High staff turn over - either voluntary, or otherwise (thanks to the low notice period). There's a lot of starters/leavers. Am I next? who knows!
