Pros

It was good for most of the time I was there

Cons

Company was sold to Gentoo Media, the biggest mistake for them and by the owners. It was all downhill from there. Before the company was purchased in August 2024 we used to have a right laugh and lots of fun, everyone knew everyone and it was a fabulous experience. Once sold it turned into a right state, employee welfare being forgotten, woeful Human resources department only interested in the company and not doing anything for company staff. A head of department about as useful as Kier Starmer, having to do 3 jobs by myself and been run into the ground. Lies were then invented by jealous female members of staff to bring me and several other individuals down. The company lacks any ounce of professionalism or decency. It deeply misses the caring and considerate owners who left in September 2025, the previous ownership were the best people I have ever met, and I am sure they are as sad as me to see how Gentoo Media have ruined their once respectable business. Thanks for ruining our lives Gentoo, the best thing you can do is pull out, sell it to someone in England who cares about staff welfare. Put it up for sale for about £1, thats probably all its now worth.

Pros

Supportive founding members who genuinely cared about staff, friendly colleagues, strong social culture, good perks, and a positive environment in the early days.

Cons

Culture declined significantly under new management, and new staff members with clear favouritism, discrimination, and undermining behaviour.

Pros

Company allows a 10 minute break on the hour every hour to puff puff puff on your vape vape vape The occasional decent sandwich

Cons

Have to go down 5 floors to vape, used to have luxury balcony adjacent to the office and had to walk 5 steps to vape. Work is also boring with nothing to look forward to, there are no opportunities to progress and executives are just in dead end roles despite doing 10 times as much work as the managers. The managers are just given roles because of who their have relationships with rather than based on actual ability. Its a company full of favouritism and your either in the click or in the outcast. Anyone with any ability is thrown out and they just keep people who are no threat to the inept management and people stay who are "yes" people Its a horrible place to work, we need the previous owners back
