Pros

There were good people about 3-4 years ago when the company operated by portfolio

Cons

Lost track of how many rounds of redundancy they have had. The communication surrounding them was awful, people losing jobs only for them to be re-advertised as a graduate position or outsourced to India. They sell packages to clients they can't deliver and blame was always on more junior staff and marketing team even though sales would sell anything with no regard for outcome and CS were pushy and had no understanding of marketing. No amount of money would drive me back to this place, it should have gone under so many times but BC keep through money at it for no reason

Pros

Hard to think of any - the only positive thing about working here were the people but now most of those are gone.

Cons

This company took over some key brands in the marketplace and knew nothing about how to run them. They then spent loads of money poaching senior people from competitors with no plan or strategy, until they had to lay off most of the existing staff who kept the brand afloat. Loads of empty promises with no delivery. At the start it was exciting as it seemed like they had big plans for the direction of the company, but naivety and bad planning contributed to them killing off major brands.
