Pros

The London Glasshouse premises are superb with a canteen, cafe and excellent meeting rooms and the Kings Cross location is great.

Cons

Since the merger/takeover people have been leaving in droves as they feel undervalued. Some truly excellent colleagues have left out of frustration and in general there is low morale. It astounds me that some staff are even on the company's payroll. The work is not as interesting as in previous companies. The new company leadership comes across as arrogant and is apparently not averse to treating staff like cannon fodder.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
