Pros

Easy targets, with very good pay. Free time to surf, Netflixs and chill at work. Nice open floor plan, very quiet. Beautiful city views, nice desks.

Cons

Management is very bad. It's all about who is the favorite sales person of the week and who can kiss up (lie more) to mgt. You are not judged on sales numbers or clients. It's about who can bs more and yell the loudest. Sad, low morale company. Boring, repetitive work

Avoid like the plague!

Business Outlook

Pros

Free tea and coffee. A few very good people left. Nice offices. New CEO joining who will hopefully bring the company into the 21st century.

Cons

Too many to mention but I will provide a synopsis. Low pay by industry standards. The company is run by a bunch of publishing dinosaurs who are stuck in the 80s! Very old school leadership where the white male reigns supreme and women are treated like second-class citizens. Corporate greed with an emphasis on quantity over quality. A top-down bullying macho culture that pays lip service to company values. People can be pushed out at a whim, particularly women. No career progression, unless one is white male. No sense of community - more a sense of uncertainty and a tangible fear. HR are corporate muppets and entirely useless.
