Overall culture:
Well it’s a very magnolia atmosphere not referencing the paint (equality hasn't reached this office yet).
There is no salary structure although friendship with certain management results in a better pay structure compared to your colleagues doing the same thing (or less to be honest).
The culture is very two faced and fake you will be praised by clients and other people you are in contact with and never acknowledged by your management.
If you like no praise and management taking credit this is the place for you! If you like to actually work hard, then expect to be chastised for not achieving more! Sounds good so far? Then this is the place for you!
Human Resources- There is no HR department, actually correction HR consists of senior management direction from the USA mainly (who have no actual knowledge in regards to UK environment) I’m actually thinking that UK employment law doesn’t apply at this company (clearly they think that they are exempt).
Workload - if you appreciate a social life don’t apply you are expected to work late and start early with no appreciation. Dare you even try to leave by 7pm, you would be the talk of the office. Management seems to offload work to their junior counterparts. Yet they take all credit. If you are looking for career progression and an actual career look elsewhere.
SINCERELY - AVOID: at all costs, personally I would rather be punished for the rest of my life from 9.00am to 5.30pm everyday with the task of watching paint dry then work for this literal definition of hell on earth again.
