Pros

- the people - clients for the CV. Do as long as you can to get the names on your CV, then go somewhere that cares about you. - nice office space

Cons

- undervalued staff - no work life balance. Working until 7pm is normal and CS team are regularly expected to work on jobs through the night then work the next day. - complete lack of care for staff as people rather than money makers - the board control pay rises and progression. This makes it increasingly frustrating as they don’t know who their employees are. False promises are often made - cliquey and can be nasty. Someone is always the office gossip and it can be extremely toxic.
