Clarksons Reviews

The free lunch is, rather than being a staff benefit, is more for keeping you in the office to work. On the face of things the company tries to display how much effort it puts in to employee well-being. My experience was otherwise. There is an apparent lack of planning within the IT department, which is managed by a select few that are less than management material. Contrary the IT director is a decent human being but perhaps does not realise the extent of the lack of professionalism within the department. I could very easily be unprofessional in my comments here, but I am professional - so I won't. The work/life balance in this brash company needs addressing. It was a great shame for me, I expected better from this market leader.

Management are too busy to be able to manage teams properly. Examples of alarmingly poor working standards and unprofessional behaviour, especially among senior members of staff e.g. bullying, aggression and bad-mouthing (ex) colleagues are all common place. Creates a generally negative working environment. Significant lack of diversity at all levels, senior management do not appear to be actively working to remedy this. Pay structure is deliberately opaque. Little respect for employees' personal time. Overtime very much expected, and met with little to no recognition.
