Pros

Paid overtime (does disappear at assistant manager). Some really nice colleagues, with better cohesion amongst junior members of staff. Generally relaxed atmosphere around the office. Managers and below are generally supportive when an employee has exams with an understanding overtime is not required as heavily during periods of exam/study.

Cons

It can feel quite cliquey with favouritism being rampant and an open secret. At times it feels like management treat senior associate and below like children with blanket messaging that is clearly intended for 1/2 individuals, alongside big brother levels of surveillance (checking how long people have been away for on teams, how often people tap into the building and when, etc.). Very few minority ethnic at manager level and above, made worse by the fact every other person here went to a few paying school. Social events used to be a highlight but as of recent have fallen flat, through a mixture of constant reorganisation alongside insisting that different departments/teams must all have separate social events. High level of employee turnover. Without crazy levels of overtime career progression to manager level and above can be difficult. This is even harder for external hires as ‘home-grown’ employees are much preferred.
