Miserable work, great co-workers

Pros

Most of the people are great. There are activities sometimes, and food. There's a Foosball table to distract people.

Cons

Poor upper management decisions from Amsterdam. Regular breakdown in communication between departments. No recognition or appreciation for huge workload. Little to no training across at least two separate systems. Inefficient workflow, communication, and cooperation between departments. Unreasonable expectations from sales, who have no idea how any processes actually work, and always get their way. The job's only saving grace were the fellow sufferers on the account support team because the pay wasn't worth it.

Pros

Great pay progression on the graduate scheme (£26k --> £40k after two years) Flexible working encouraged (working from home/hot desking).

Cons

Not much guidance from management (might have just been my experience, but I was left to my own devices more than expected for a new graduate in a PM role).
