Pros
Nice office in Reading and that is really all I can say about this horrible company.
Cons
Where do I start, this place is horrible. If I didn't need the job so much I would have left after my 1st month. No real training, alot of cliques which means the support to the 'outsiders' is virtually non-existent. In the UK office, if you're not happy to agree to things with the managers (who have clearly no experience), then you are on your way out!! The managers here want you to agree with everything they say. No real training, lots of backstabbing. I've heard from some of my colleagues that a new manager joined over a year ago and he forced a few people out just because he didn't like them. I was also told by the same colleagues that HR are useless and not worth their title, as they will never help or support you - so unfortunately there are a few of us in the Reading office who are or have been suffering in silence! Plenty of office relationships going on, even though the company handbook clearly states that this is not allowed!! Over to you then HR although I doubt anything will happen!! I've also heard from numerous people that the main person in charge of UK/Europe, likes to favour the females in the office, IF THEY 'are nice to him'. Unfortunately I can not name names, otherwise I think the whole world and the senior management in the US would love to know what really goes on here. Plenty of underhand tactics to try and win business - which is shocking!!!!! Sales people like myself are encouraged to tell the customer what they want to hear, just so we can try and win the contract. Once a 3yr contract is signed, the team here just wash their hands of it.... If you value your ethics, stay away from this place!
