It is a job, nothing more and nothing less.

Pros

It pays the bills of a single person with no kids.

Cons

The work load and the stress endured do not reflect the wages. The opportunities to progress are impossible.

Hiya thanks for your feedback although I'm clearly disappointed by what you have to say. I can respond by pointing out that more than 250 people were promoted internally in 2017 and that we know our wages are competitive for similar work but we do always keep things like this under review (infact we had a meeting re this topic in Sunlighthouse just last week) However, what makes me really sad is that you seem unhappy and frustrated but have been with us for more than 3 years. That must be really tough and is not how we want anyone to feel. I appreciate that you may not want to do this but could I would really recommend that you speak to a member of the People Team or contact me directly. Thanks again for your feedback, despite what you say it really does matter Ryan

Pros

Free lunch, and an elevator in the building

Cons

This place is not a place I would recommend to anyone. They will not promote anyone they don't like or of color. If you haven't slept with the management or are not on their radar (wanting to be with you) forget any sort of promotion. Everyone is sleeping with anyone there it's one big disgusting place. Don't bother to apply for anything if you're not part of the group, they will not hire you. They will promote all sorts of people they can control or that licks everyone's behind to keep the job. Oh yeah and don't forget about the visible racism that is going on in this place. All managers are white! If you want to work in a place where you will be mentally contained go to the London office. As well they claim they can't watch what you are doing on your computers 24/7. They can see everything you do and what you type. They have a list of people they keep track on that they will never promote and put anything on your file that they are displeased about and forget about going to HR they can't so a thing for you cause they are under firm instructions. Don't worry about speaking to someone that will help you there, cause no one will they are weak minded people that are under control without a back bone

Pros

Great diversity and very smart people

Cons

The recruiters were not very honest with their job description. They made promises they couldn't keep to get a yes. Riding people with metrics is bad enough, having ill-trained team leads using those metrics to harass people not cool.
