Pros

Colleagues were great to work with

Cons

Management run by 'old boys club' style. Not much internal promotion and recruits senior managers from external. Training offered but rarely approved. Not much admin help available so you end up doing all your own work and stressed out. Admin help is by sending an email out but you don't have your own assistant and any admin can answer the email and assist you from a remote office or another floor in the office (very unprofessional). Bullying and sexual harassment is not dealt with properly. UK head office management don't care if the employees are happy .. too busy with their faces in the unbilled WIP report. You walk in to the office in the mornings and everyone has their heads down .. no hello or goodmorning - that's a bad sign for starters. Biscuit tin filled to half way once or twice a week if you are lucky and if you are working a long day there is nothing to keep you going with your coffee .. it's like "We value your hard work but byo" Lots of computer problems and lack of IT support. Cheap run company with cheap run server and no help if you need it.

Pros

On the ground floor there are really good people who are supportive of one another and it does feel like family There is opportunity to grow if you are ambitious and willing put yourself out there - employees often switch groups, relocate or get to work on projects in other parts of the globe Very flexible - many employees are fully remote

Cons

Uneven compensation structure between groups and within groups Inconsistent procedures/ collaboration between global regions Business growing too big too fast; poor acquisition onboarding Senior personnel from legacy companies not willing to adapt and change (I.e. sell to new clients/sectors, adopt new processes/procedures that are more scalable, etc) At times dysfunctional - employees and leadership on different waves lengths, poor communication of vision, competing priorities or goals Too much time spent creating add-on software to automate Finance, HR, Project Management rather than improving preexisting technology
