Pros

The office is located in central Glasgow, with plenty of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Gym membership and health insurance are included. The client list is strong. There are some very talented people on the team. It’s a decent place to start out if you’re early in your career.

Cons

Senior managers often lack strategic vision and focus too much on micromanagement, which leads to a blame culture. Consider carefully how much time and effort to invest in this company, as hard work and initiative are rarely recognised or rewarded. Many decisions are made by people who aren’t involved in day-to-day tasks, which often leads to chaos. Salaries are low, and the working environment is quite stressful, with little support provided. Bonuses appear to be non-existent.

Hi, I'm not sure if you have the correct Equator - this agency is based in London, Glasgow and New York.
