Pros

- Part of the Conran design group history - although a lot rides on this legacy - Talented team - Generally good projects and clients - Good connections to Clerkenwell design culture, suppliers and standing in industry - Good standards followed with regard to building safety, regs and BIM.

Cons

- Lack of personal development, growth or promotions. - Zero transparency about company decision making, finances and direction. Big rift between partners and employees. - Both interior and architectural teams are reliant on underpaid overtime. - Minimal benefits and non-existent workplace culture.

Pros

The team (on the lower end - designers, architects ect, - NOT MANAGEMENT) are approachable, kind, helpfull all that good stuff. If you like to socialise a bit then good if not you will basically not talk to anyone. They stock fruit. THATS IT FOR PROS

Cons

Management. every interaction is either passive aggressive, or you will be spoken to as if you are 5 years old and lesser a human (Imagine a conversation kindly telling a child throwing stones is not good - same vibes!) if you think you will pass probation, dont celebrate too early because they will flip something THEY are responsible for onto you and now your 3 months becomes 4 or 5. Whatever they say in the interview IGNORE it, its all lies. There is a clear monopoly over non partners/associates as if its 2 competing teams. as a current employee reading previous reviews on here i cant pick out a single lie, genuinely theres no exaggeration. ive seen the nicer employees get told off for things they were not told to do, and if they were informed...it needed doing 10mins ago so theres no chance of success. My advice - for any role at Conran - DONT APPLY
