Pros

Kind to staff and generous with time off. Very nice people to work with, lots of socialising, good hours. Lots of people get their own offices.

Cons

Not a very productive or exciting company. Very bad location in Basingstoke, on a grim out of town business park next to a lorry depot.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
