Too reactive, badly paid and disorganized.

Pros

The building itself is wonderful and there are some truly great people working there. The push on L&D last year was great initiative from the People team. There's Tischtennis and beanbags?

Cons

The salaries are extremely low, not just a couple of k, but easily 30-40% lower than industry standard. Very reactive and disorganized, such as throwing themselves at new business without the forethought to hire the staff to manage it in the first place. Big reluctance to invest in even basic software & infrastructure, and the laptops are quite literally falling apart. Blatant sexism, very little chance of career progression and huge levels of unpaid overtime.

Caring culture and huge ambition, with good opportunities to have impact

Pros

This is a company with a genuinely caring culture and huge ambition, which is a great combination. The core values of care, drive and excellence ensure that we move at pace, are relentless in ensuring high quality of service and really take employee and partner care seriously. The size of the organisation is just right to be able to give all employees opportunity to have meaningful impact and to drive change.

Cons

Not all processes are as slick as they could be and we do change our mind from time to time, but I think that is the nature of businesses at our scale and lifestage.
