Pros

Fantastic People Great team socials, weekly drinks Great location (Covent Garden) Decent pension 3% matched, good holidays increasing with service. Good company to start with in the software industry

Cons

Poor pay, below market level. Huge work load for every department, leads to culture of apathy (Having so much work to do that i just don't care any more) Overtime is needed to keep on top of everything.

Thank you for drawing attention to our great people, location and benefits. We are constantly looking at the allocation of work to make sure there is the right balance of stretch and space. On a personal level, I certainly don’t want people feeling the only way to do their job is to work really long hours. If things do not subside for whatever reason, please do let me know. Best Wishes, Jon Walder

A sinking ship

Pros

Some good managers and team members

Cons

If you're looking for a career black hole to swallow your aspirations whole, Fourth is your one-way ticket to professional despair. This place makes Dante's Inferno look like a vacation brochure. Let's start with the corporate version of musical chairs they call mergers. One minute, you're settling into your cubicle, the next, you're packing up your desk because some exec decided to play God with your job security. Layoffs? Oh, they're as common as coffee stains on the break room carpet. The company has a penchant for axing entire teams without so much as a farewell memo. Take the marketing department, for example. First, they had a team, then they didn't. And when they finally assembled a new crew, they dropped them like a hot potato for no apparent reason other than sheer incompetence at the top. The upper echelons seem to have a passion for turning the office into a revolving door of despair. Let's talk about the leadership within marketing, shall we? There's a certain micromanaging presence whose sole purpose seems to be breathing down your neck while contributing zilch to the actual work. Useless doesn't even begin to cover it. And don't even get me started on the fresh-faced recruits they keep hiring. Inexperienced, incompetent, and with a knack for meddling in everyone else's business, these rookies are like a swarm of locusts, devouring productivity in their wake. But hey, they're great at one thing: brown-nosing their way to the top. The cherry on top of this disaster sundae? A management team that couldn't navigate their way out of a paper bag with a map and a flashlight. They've perfected the art of blame-shifting, pointing fingers at the marketing department and anyone else within arm's reach for their own boneheaded decisions. In conclusion, Fourth isn't just a sinking ship—it's the Titanic, and you're the iceberg. Steer clear unless you're a glutton for punishment and enjoy watching your career circle the drain. Consider yourself warned.
