Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits for employees and their families.

Cons

There's a lot of corporate tape and sometimes people who should get in trouble don't. Also, great talent leaves often because of lack of opportunity. Great talent is also let go too easily.

Pros

Multiple benefits (flexibility, discounts etc) Various events all year Office location in central London Great staff screening and charity events Free coffees and multiple perks

Cons

Career stagnation, no way to progress and they rather hire external candidates from big competitors than promoting internal staff. Low salaries. No bonus below manager level. Opportunities seem to happen a lot in the US. It’s all about who you know otherwise you’ll never progress even being there for a few years!
