Toxic!

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly young workforce Heart of London city Gives you the feeling you are doing something very important

Cons

Extremely toxic culture, backstabbing, very high turnover as a result especially in the IT. Incapable, uneducated senior management with an attitude of know it all. Unstable, you can get fired in one day because your manager had a fight with you. Sheep culture. Promotion based on gender, extreme feminists at top levels.

Interesting company, poor middle management!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic activities and projects, interesting clients, nice office locations. Colleagues come from all walks of life and can be interesting to work with. Pretty flat organizational hierarchy, although it can be opaque sometimes. Co-located with joint venture partners that are actually friendly people!

Cons

Middle management has become way too sales-oriented, and expect employees to be sales robots. Office environment is very sterile (aka not friendly and warm). A lot of drama that is always caused by a few female employees makes the whole office environment very sour. Very quiet and not a friendly place to work. Annual bonus’ canceled year on year due to financial mismanagement. Little to no recognition for employees’ efforts.
