Pros

Provides a good insight into a niche sector of the technology industry. Some nice and supportive colleagues and clients.

Cons

Around a third of the company has left in the past year or so which says a lot. Despite preaching support of employee mental health and women in business on social platforms and to media outlets, my experience was a stark contrast. Certain members of the senior leadership team are the most toxic and unprofessional I’ve encountered thus far in my career, and will think nothing of exhibiting bullying tactics towards team members they dislike. Unfair and non-transparent feedback processes, often used as a method for the senior leadership team to channel their personal opinions, and in some cases, vendettas. Will invite feedback on company processes but as another review on here mentioned, they will almost certainly ignore it and will also target anyone with a contrary opinion to leave by making their life at the company unpleasant. Benefits package not comparable to the rest of the industry.

Pros

A great place to start if you want to work in PR. A lot of learning can be done and the pace is fast.

Cons

A culture of 'niceness' but not friendly as such. London office is very quiet with palpable stress. Noticeable illness, and people going off sick then leaving. Several six-month probations extended while I was there (people tended to leave rather than stick it out). A lot of criticism - some of it stored up for your reviews - and a feeling that your best is not enough. All this may have changed since I left.

Pros

GingerMay was my first corporate job out of university, and I worked there for five years. I received numerous thorough trainings, particularly DISC training, which helped me understand personalities and work styles within the team—I still use this knowledge to this day. After three years, I was offered a six-month sabbatical to travel, which was an extremely kind gesture. I also made some very good friends at GingerMay, many of whom I remain in contact with.

Cons

Towards the end of my time at GingerMay, the culture became less enjoyable. Social events in London, which had been consistent before, started to die out, and many colleagues around my age left, which changed the team dynamic.
