      Quite a mess

      Marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In the right team, they’re flexible

      Cons

      - Not an agile company, work in silos - Quite an unprofessional company (UK consumer), people drop casual F bombs in meetings - No real opportunity to develop, VPs do all strategic planning and then AVPs only do execution so just dogs bodies - Diversity is pretty non existent at the SLT other than a few Asian men - SLT need to see everything that’s being proposed before it even gets to brief and production stage and often change their minds and want to input into EVERYTHING

      Good, bulge-bracket bank to work at

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One fo UK's leading investment bank with strong balance sheet (rather than pure M&A advisory)

      Cons

      Can be bureacrtatic at times, given the multiple cross-team staffings that happen
