Vantaggi

- Generally speaking, a great bunch of people, but without doubt there are some people given opportunities purely because they're in the bosses pocket. A lot of 'yes' people and not many who challenge the status quo to be better and always evolve. - Decent perks such as breakfast, snacks and socials. - Handy offices and free parking on-site.

Svantaggi

- Junior folk who land on their feet in management roles because the more senior and experienced managers above them aren't replaced when they leave. - Internal politics like nowhere I've ever worked before. If you're in 'the club', then great... if not, you're not going to progress anytime soon and you'll constantly be met with negativity and belittlement from others who should know better. - The 'cool/hip/everyone gets along' image the company portrays is completely fabricated and despite their website saying 'a culture like theirs can't be bought or manufactured' this is a lie. Teams are in frequent battle with each other and there's a daily game of oneupmanship on the company's internal messaging platform that can sometimes make for uncomfortable reading. - Sales team promise the earth to prospects, commit delivery teams to unrealistic timescales then when it's not deliverable, the clients leave. And round the cycle goes. - Flexible working hours - but only within set hours, if you book in advance and tell your manager your every move when you're out of the office. Not so flexible really.

Vantaggi

Nice office Good hybrid working policy

Svantaggi

Work load - it’s a company wide issue all the way from executives up to senior managers , that working more than you allocated hours is necessary. Low pay - pay threshold is low compared to the market Progression - very limited progression , the jump from executives to manager to senior manager is extremely high / the frequency these roles come up , is extremely low Very cliquey- if you are not close / respected by certain a certain individual - it is made very apparent and you are pushed out both socially and professionally. Widespread strategy change - company direction and structure changes frequently , without much warning.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you found the office environment and hybrid working policy positive. On workload, this is something we take seriously. We rely heavily on accurate time tracking from everyone across the business so we can spot pressure points, allocate resource properly and step in where support is needed. When time isn’t tracked in detail, it limits our ability to take the right action - so we continue to reinforce its importance and review workload trends regularly. We do recognise that, as a smaller agency, progression opportunities don’t come up as frequently as in larger organisations. We’re focused on how we can support development in other meaningful ways, even when formal role moves aren’t immediately available. Without having further context on some of the other points you raised, it's hard for me to respond to those meaningfully here. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for the future.
