Pros

Central Location, Close to Tube, Plenty of shops and green spaces around

Cons

Hmmm where do I start: if you're looking to work in an office of animatronics that's the place. Very few people there actually know what they're doing - and unfortunately, they're (most) not at management level. That's because this company does not reward smart, knowledgeable people - it rewards flatterers, groupies, lackeys and minions. As long as you go along with the management you'll be fine. That's how most people got promoted there, being in the graces of X and Y. Asked to work overtime most days, terrible holiday allowance, cold-calling atmosphere with ridiculous high targets; lack of talented people in the company really kills-off even the few ones who know their job. Creativity is zero – brainstorms are just occasions for people to talk about what they did in the weekend or the night before; at the end a regurgitated idea used 10x times before will do. There is no interest in new ideas, no encouragement for less outspoken people to contribute, it’s a world of the few and favoured. Massive gap in salaries and again those on little do the most… Have left after a few years there, without actually learning anything useful, is an environment where gossip, lies and backstabbing are fostered and encouraged from the top. If you want a job where you can learn, develop a career, make a difference and most of all feel appreciated for your efforts – then this is NOT that place

Pros

1. The clients are interesting and the projects can be rewarding when you’re allowed to focus on the actual work. 2. A few colleagues were talented, kind, and hardworking. Those relationships made the experience bearable at times. 3. You’ll learn how to work under pressure and navigate challenging personalities — which, if nothing else, becomes a lesson in resilience.

Cons

1. Toxic leadership culture. Many senior employees thrive on gossip, favoritism, and tearing others down. Constructive feedback quickly turns into public blame, and strong performers often become targets. 2. No HR accountability. When I raised issues of verbal abuse and retaliation, it was handled internally by the same person I reported for misconduct. HR was never involved, and I was pressured to “work it out” directly with the person who created the problem. 3. Micromanagement and credit theft. Good work is routinely taken or minimized by those higher up. The same people avoid accountability when things go wrong. 4. No clear path for growth. Promotions and raises are inconsistent and often based on favoritism or tenure, not performance. In my time there, I never received a formal review and saw no internal advancement despite strong results. 5. High turnover. Talented people either burn out or leave for healthier environments. The ones who stay are usually the ones benefiting from the internal politics.
