Pros

Lovely team mates to work with - social life is good. Contribution to material such as photography, editorial, each Free fruit and smoothies.

Cons

Micro-management is painful, constant 1-2-1's where you are turned into stats, look at your emails, listen to your phone-calls, very over enthusiastic to people who do really well and crush people who they think are not doing well in their eyes, they act as if they care about being meticulous and perfect yet so many mistakes are being made even by managers thats its ironic. They claim to be empathic but they just care about you being a sales/quote machine. SO ARROGANT its unbelievable. It took me a while to accept the job because they couldnt make their minds up whether they were going to place me in witney oxfordshire or london - whwere the job had been actually advertised! and they've punished me for it the whole time i was thre by comign down on me so hard and picking up on the most minor of discerpencies which were made company wide, all because they expect you to jump at the opportunity as soon as they offer it to you, even if it means relocating to the back and beyond when paying rent for a house in london. The managers think they are the best and the company is the best but they're shallow and obsessed with figures because the company is owned by investment bankers. UNFORGIVING environment.

Pros

Generous PTO policy and flexibility around time off. Many employees genuinely care about their work, their customers, and their teammates. There are talented individuals throughout the organization who continue to deliver strong results despite challenging circumstances.

Cons

Compensation often does not align with the level of effort, responsibility, and results expected from employees. Recognition can feel inconsistent, with visibility and internal relationships sometimes appearing to carry more weight than performance and measurable impact. Many of the product offerings feel dated compared to competitors, making it difficult for teams to position solutions effectively in the market. Significant investment in product innovation and modernization is needed to remain competitive. The company also appears to be facing strategic challenges. Employees are frequently asked to do more with less, while the long-term vision and execution plan can feel unclear. There is a noticeable desire across the organization for stronger leadership alignment, a more defined growth strategy, and clearer communication around the path forward.
