The organisation feels unstable, with frequent restructuring and job cuts that create a constant sense of uncertainty even for strong performers. Pay sits on the lower end for the industry, and progression opportunities feel limited.
In my experience, decision-making is concentrated in a very small group, which makes it hard for local teams to influence direction. I often witnessed situations where feedback wasn’t taken onboard, and it created a difficult working atmosphere. Flexibility exists on paper, but the rules around remote days and time off often felt inconsistent and discouraging.
Resources are extremely tight, yet expectations remain high, which puts a lot of pressure on teams. Many colleagues in the London office have been exploring other roles because the overall environment feels draining.
If you’re interviewing, I’d recommend asking detailed questions about stability, progression, decision-making structures, and support for teams so you can understand whether it aligns with what you’re looking for.
