Pros

- You work, you get payed. If you don't like to engage with your company, this is great for you. I hope you like outsourcing work. - Clear and detailed career progression - Mature and skilled colleagues, a pleasure to work with - Great work/life balanced, flexible work hours (don't tell HR!)

Cons

- Stingy company: boasts about incredible revenue increase, yet doesn't improve package (salary + perks) - Cold company: there's no attachment, no office vibe. Feels like contractor work, minus contractor salary - HR exists to keep the company happy and the "employsheeps" controlled - HR is inflexible and blindly follows the process, regardless if it makes sense - HR hides salary bands, limits internal discussion, and lied a couple of times - If you put in extra effort, you get no reward - Lots of managers, few actions and slow decisions - Few irrelevant perks

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
