Pros

Clean, friendly work environment. Seemed like everyone was willing and wanting to help new starters. Amazing benefits and fantastic facilities accessible to employees (only after the 6 month probation period).

Cons

Management don't seem to communicate to each other, no one really knows what they are doing. GDPR laws were not abided, and management did not seem to care about this. Situations were not handled delicately or professionally- safeguarding does not seem to exist. Probation period is six months long; so if you don't meet their targets or if you do one simple thing wrong they have ample time to weed out employees that they do not like. A very cliquey team, they all seem to protect each other even when they are completely in the wrong, although this makes sense as they rather indulge in their Friday Family Dinners.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
