Toxic. Toxic. Toxic

Pros

There are some decent, hard-working people around. Office is also nice and in good location.

Cons

This is by far the worst place I've ever worked. Colleagues are nice but management cannot be worse, making it a very toxic environment. I was in fact bullied out by my own manager. Mind you, this was not the first time it happended with the very same person, who is still there bullying everyone around. The problem must be systemic. Management is based on threats and insults. No interpersonal skills whatsoever. To the point that the person was uncapable of saying "good morning" to team members; only talked to other managers. Organisation skills are also null, which rose the level of stress and anxiety for the whole team. Not to mention constant attempts to put one team member against the other. My advice to anyone considering a job there - avoid at all costs for the sake of your own sanity and health. It is a toxic environment and pay is not great.

Pros

No pros come to mind

Cons

Instead of being proactive, the company takes a reactive approach handling constant fires, emergencies and issues. Management is all about driving numbers so they don't value and respect you. You will deal with a lot of politics among departments too.

Dreadful company

Pros

Decent colleagues. Location was good. Nice offices.

Cons

I would strongly urge people not to work for this company. I was bullied out of my job and had to sign an NDA. I repeatedly raised my concerns to HR and asked to be placed in a different team but ultimately the company saw ME as being a risk and made my life unbearable to the point that it affected my health.
