Pros

- Small team fosters a personable atmosphere, allowing you to get to know everyone. - Great starting point for entry-level roles, ideal for recent graduates. - Conveniently located office in Shoreditch.

Cons

- Limited employee benefits tailored more towards entry-level positions, lacking inclusivity. - Flexible working policy not truly accommodated; minimum 4-day workweek expected. - Social events feel obligatory, with CEO's disapproval for non-participants. - Top-down micromanagement undermines staff trust and teamwork. - Toxic environment with little collaboration, work is siloed. - Blame culture prevalent among management, lacking support or leadership by example. - CEO's resistance to market adjustments results in stagnant growth and client dissatisfaction. - Unprofessional conduct from CEO, fostering negative workplace culture. - Short-term focus with no clear long-term strategy. - Lack of understanding of UK employment law, leading to unfair terminations. - Amateurs running the business; promises of premium services often fail to deliver quality results for clients.
