Pros

I had to think hard about this and i honestly would have to say no possible benefits to working for this company. Many people have mentioned free lunch, however i would have to disagree because it not much better than what we used to get for school dinners. IT support is a wonderful team!

Cons

People- Management is shambolic with power at the forefront of peoples' mind. You will survive this company if you know how to be teachers pet and make fake smiles with management. For such a small company (40+ people approx.) there is no efficient communication amongst staff. Simple emails are taken out of proportion and staff cannot work with clients within NHS England without something going wrong. Management have no idea how to manage a project. PAY- they pay way below the average. The money does not cover what is expected of you. CAREER PROGRESSION- be prepared to be in the same role for more than a year. Management will only promote you if they feel they like you. Many people are at the same rate when they started. Look over your contracts, there is a possible clause which binds you to company for 2 YEARS, so if you find a new (better) position you would need to give 2 months notice!!! WORKLOAD- If on the sales/projects team be prepared to out in 100% and receive 1% back from the company or management. You will be overworked with no support. At times it can be very boring and not much goes on. Finally be aware that the smallest things can be taken out of context. And one friendly advice PLEASE DO NOT WORK THERE AS IT WILL CRUSH YOU.

Pros

Free lunch which some people didn’t enjoy Perkbox which I have never used but still ought to mention it on here

Cons

I agree with all reviews on here - I wish I could name certain individuals but I don’t think that is appropriate. Main point here being, staff at Dictate are never valued or appreciated. Staff are also being treated unfairly, for instance individuals would come in late but because they know certain person they won’t get the ‘talk’ but others will be reported to the management. Same applies to people making mistakes.
