Pros

- a great supportive and young team - hybrid working - friendly and interesting clients

Cons

- micro-management: company culture is to log in every single minute of work on a spreadsheet - poor work/life balance: pre-assigned workload was most of the time beyond the contracted working hours, whilst the company wouldn't pay for any overtime - unconscious favouritism by the management: the managing team claims that there is no favouritism, but never bothered to give me similar opportunities to my other colleagues of the same seniority or even more junior - no HR person in the company: the agency has a massive turnover of staff, which in my opinion is due to lack of attention given to their employees. There is no HR/internal comms representative, and instead, people are encouraged to go straight to their employer with any complaints. - the management overpromises and underdelivers: during my time with the company there were many things promised to the employees, including a new and shiny benefits package, which the management failed to introduce in the timeframe they gave themselves and never followed up on the matter.

Decent clients and great colleagues

Cons

Leadership lacks transparency. Big decisions made without consulting staff. Habit of letting go international staff after promising sponsored visas and then not following through. Favouritism.
