Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, some direct level managers are ok (as with everywhere)

Cons

Toxic work culture. Upper management filled with 'jobs for the boys' - very incestuous - associate director level and above employed by 'who you know' rather that having any relevant skill set Workloads are often unmanageable, with no support for it. Middle managers often too scared to speak out on behalf of their team, knowing they will be shown the door for doing so.

Worst company I've ever worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

I only have to interact with my terrible line manager 1-2 a month.

Cons

Horrible, inexperienced line managers that don't appear to understand basic HR concepts. C-suite gets massive stock options and therefore only cares about pumping up the stock price, not improving the actual business. I started with an open mind, but have since lost all respect and trust for the company.
