Pros

- Nice office - Some great colleagues

Cons

- Has really gone downhill in the last year or two. Staff turnover used to be very low. It is now quite high with approximately 40% of the UK workforce having been replaced in the last 4 years. - Low pay, and often no pay rises. Managers have been told they aren’t able to give members of their team full bonuses to cut costs. - The majority of employees are very unhappy, and a lot are leaving and are not being replaced which puts more strain on the remaining teams. - Most new hires are on 12 month contracts which get renewed, but often don’t get permanent positions. - Colleagues getting ‘let go’ rather than being made redundant. This has happened to colleagues who have been at the company for 20+ years. - A very old fashioned management team. - Due to staff cuts, many people are working 12 hour days just to keep up. This comes with no recognition and management claims that it is to be expected from us.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
