Pros

People are fun, Pay is decent for a graduate role, Pantry is the best

Cons

1) Helpdesk There are different layers to this, the first being this is a helpdesk job. Its fine if you are just doing helpdesk, but doing well in helpdesk doesnt even guarantee you high raises - you still have to do a lot of side projects and DEI activities (which I may argue is more important than doing your actual job well) While the primary goal is to prepare you for sales, it is simply not guaranteed and this lead me to point 2) Political 2) Political The office is not big (suprisingly) and it doesn’t actually matter how well you do in your job- as long as they like you, you will go to wherever you want. It is NOT merit based no matter how you look at it. Not a con if you can play the game, but if you just want to do your work well and not be political, sadly it will not be rewarded 3) Bonuses Youre looking at base salary and thinking that they pay well, but in actual fact bonuses are so low that when you take total compensation, it doesnt even amount to much (compared with other competitors)

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
