Pros

A range of projects and interesting therapy areas Good progression (if you’re liked by the team leader and sacrifice your life and well-being for the job) Nice people outside of work but the place can change you

Cons

Paid for 36 hours a week yet if you’re doing under 50 you’re slacking, called behind your back and no chance of promotion - those extra 20 hours are 100% profit for those at the top and the workers are not even repaid with lieu days, there’s no reward or recognition for the intense workload Expected to sacrifice free time/well-being/mental health for a company that doesn’t care about you The culture changed me into a horrible person, I was throwing people under the bus and always had to watch my back and look out for myself Ever since the new investor takeover, values have flipped on their head, now money money money whatever it takes, no respect for the people Overworking is a badge of honour Cut-throat sackings With the change in CEO, the place is going even more money-driven and the attitude is ‘if you don’t like it, leave’ and that is what people are doing Clients can treat you like something unfortunate on their shoe and nothing is done about it

Pros

Great place. Been here almost 5 years. Highly recommend.

Cons

Well, it's been a bit tumultuous in the industry of late, but I think we're being navigated ably through it.

Pros

You get to work from home. That is the only benefit.

Cons

You will work overtime without compensation every single day. When it comes time for a raise you will consistently get below industry standard with no ability to negotiate or talk to the decision makers (they will just email you from an address you can not respond to, to avoid the chance that you may counter). When it comes time for a promotion they will give you a new salary that matches the position below your new one, and again, will give you no opportunity to negotiate or discuss your insulting raise. There are no bonuses at all, so get that notion out of your mind. Executive leadership cares more about creating acronyms than actually resourcing departments appropriately. And the moment you show a willingness to go above and beyond, instead of rewarding you, they will simply give you more responsibility with no additional compensation. I was recently promoted, and am now making the salary I should have been making in my last position. I had one of the VP’s at the company recently tell me that I should be making 30k more at least, and to start looking for a new job because this company doesn’t care about retaining talented employees.
