Very friendly, positive atmosphere in a forward thinking and challenging company
Pros
The people have all been fantastic, all so friendly and happy to help. There is a real family feel here and everyone I speak to enjoys their job and enjoys working for the company. The major thing that I take away from the company is that you will get out of it what you are willing to put in. If you are lazy and disinterested, you won't make the most of the culture and the intrinsic benefits that can be achieved. By going into the day with a positive frame of mind and a willingness to learn and understand, take new things on and really embrace what is going on here; you will get so much out of it. From what I have seen, the company are incredibly sensitive to personal issues and very understanding and that empathy I have found runs through the employees. I feel comfortable in their company and able to talk to them about personal issues that have affected me and their compassion and understanding has for me personally, been very uplifting. The rewards seem fair in my opinion. I have already had career plans laid in front of me showing how I can progress and it's very motivating to know that the company would be willing to take such significant investment in my development.
Cons
Some refurbishment of the offices wouldn't go amiss. The lack of colour in them can be a tad dreary. Some positive motivational posters on walls would be good to really emphasize the feel good factor that I feel a lot of people have here already and is important to keep. Promote happiness!
