Pros

Nice Lancaster office with a drinks fridge.

Cons

Fat media took over Reading Room around about 6 and made a load of redundancies in secret - and also made us work our notice but keeping the fact we were being made redundant to our colleagues! The CEO is an incredibly rude and insensitive person who almost teased us before making us redundant by saying he is being watched and we need to prove our selves like we were new started, keep in mind we have all worked here for over 5 years. He also didn't have the decency or the backbone to come and do it himself... Other then that - other things I gathered from fat media is there technical team lacked substance massively which is really uncommon in any digital agency - usually the first positive thing is the tech team but not in this case. No standards No code quality reviews No ambition Old ways of working Poor leadership PURE BOTCHERS CEO put you on the spot in front of people all the time to almost try and shame you. Ultimately a bad company to work for.

Pros

Good location, friendly atmosphere, supportive colleagues, informal working environment. Twenty-five days paid holiday yearly. Breakfast bar.

Cons

Pay is poor, and pay increases are rare. No employee benefits, except for paid holiday and required minimum pension contributions. High employee turnover, yet, strangely enough, limited opportunities for growth. Fine as a first job or a stepping-stone though.
