Pros

They try to bribe the 20 something’s with free pizza and cheap beer and wine once in a blue moon which the kids will love as it supplements their pittance of a pay. Not much of an incentive if you’re above 20 though. Fairly clean toilets.

Cons

170 people packed onto two small floors of a building, more people visiting the office each day so if you’re not in your desk will be used by someone else as not enough seats for rear ends. Apparently they regularly move people around so they don’t get too used to anything. Fairly entry level work for even experienced accountants. A lot of data input and rubbish slow systems that aren’t maintained by the company, instead they are client systems used by CBRE. Therefore they have no say in what system developments happen. Lots of so called directors swanning around thinking they are something hot when they’re not. Noisy and like a train station on a Friday night at teatime. Nasty HR and management staff. Also office admin interview accountants at the first round of interviews which is odd. Poor level of pay, about £5k-£10k less than the going rate I’d say, but they think that’s ok because they give away free fruit once a month. Glad I was only there a month.

Pros

No positive things to say about this company

Cons

There is absolutely no support by management who spend their time working from home instead of being in the office as they should be. Line managers are awful. Kids running around with power getting to their heads making them believe they are absolutely the best when in reality they are absolutely horrible people who do not care at all about their staff. Unqualified people in top positions with huge egos trying to climb the ladder. There is absolutely no opportunity to grow in this company unless you are ‘buddies’ with the management, if they don’t like you, you will no go anywhere even if you are the best of the best Company state they care about employees mental health & wellbeing but it's more of a façade as bullish situations are totally ignored and no guidance at all from management that makes you feel like an idiot as they look at you like ‘you should know this stuff’ when they never gave you direction on things. People with same positions on same site are paid different salaries
