Pros

Management are very hands on and exposed me to not only working in the business to how to run a business . Helped me build confidence, as I didnt know it was that hard, and no-one really knows what they are doing, they just go with their gut and the things they learnt up to that moment. I actually think I could run a business now....HA! My manager was easy going and was patient when I made mistakes, but they do expect you to try your hardest. If you sit on your phone all day though you will get fired... saw that first hand!

Cons

The company will want you to perform, and sometimes it causes some to act a little catty and that sometimes makes it painful to be around. Management could do more to stop this kind of behavior. Pay could have been a little better but the bonuses and free lunches were good. Office is next to Big Ben in Central London and is VERY VERY expensive if you want to live near the office.

Pros

My manager is very supportive in a very difficult job environment, and js helping me move off of contract work and getting me to full-time.

Cons

SRs information security policy is a bit intense and impractical for us, but I guess is needed to keep data safe. There have been many times I have had to call IT support to help because I didn't put in the password correctly the first time.
