Awesome Place to Work - Consultant Curve Analytics Employee Review

The only good thing about this place is the people. They're smart, nice and friendly. This creates a fun atmosphere. If it wasn't for the people, you'd want to quit this place every day (you still do).

The salary is well below standards, not only for the amount of work they make you do but compared to general London salaries. They claim to benchmark salaries but it’s unclear against what, it certainly doesn’t reflect industry standards. The hours they make you work is unsustainable, and the expectations are unrealistic. The company leans heavily on young employees (often on visas) who can’t easily leave, anyone else would walk out. They're hiring people but there's not enough space in the office. It always gets crammed and there's barely space if you don't come in 15 minutes early. They have a hot desk policy for everyone, except the senior people where of course no one can touch their seat unless you know they won't come in. The obstacles you have to climb to try to get a promotion is too drawn-out, there's multiple steps that takes half a year. And at the end you'll probably get rewarded with more work and peanuts for your salary increase. People would rather quit without anything lined up because the burnout of working here is real. I heard it used to be better when it was a smaller company, but the culture is fading away as the company is getting bigger.

Great coworkers. Flat hierarchy. Flexible working arrangements, options for remote or hybrid work help with work-life balance. Exposure to a variety of clients and industries, provides insight into different business challenges and solutions.

Office is small, cold, and cramped; infrastructure feels outdated (extension plug sockets sparking when plugging in some appliances, broken chairs, unreliable monitors). Budgets haven’t scaled with company growth, social budgets are stretched despite the workforce doubling. Long-hours culture. Work can feel repetitive and not very challenging. Some of the HR processes could do with being refined. As an insights/analytics consultancy, there’s limited emphasis on data/tech employees' personal development, although they are trying to improve this.
