Pros

People were ok, if a little frenetic. Support staff all lovely.

Cons

I really couldn't recommend this company. Everyone seemed to hate each other, and kept approaching me, telling me I'd "hate" my new boss/the team leader. On my first day. Really not the way to make a first impression. Would have been lovely if they'd suggested going out for lunch or something, but instead they just kept on and on about how much I was going to "hate" this experience. Also on my first day, the team leader pulled me into a meeting room at 9am and asked really weird questions which would have been more suited to someone coming in as a scientist (not an admin assistant) and talking about completely irrelevant things. Also, I was missold the role. Apparently I was there as a tidyer-upper for someone who'd previously made a mess of things. This had never been relayed to me. The end result was that I had everyone approaching me with piles of papers and work which I "really need to deal with NOW". End result was that I was going into work every day with a nervous tummy. Ended up leaving.
