Glass ceiling is everywhere, very traditional and old fashioned structure

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people work there and it is definitely growing in size.

Cons

Can be very sexist in its nature, as other reviewers have mentioned its really hard to get promoted and the bonus structure is deeply flawed.

Difficult to get promoted or have a career path.

Pros

Relatively low pressure and good work / life balance. 8 hour days typical for most staff.

Cons

They aren't generous with bonuses, and unless you're one of the few yes men in the inner circle it is difficult to get ahead and get promoted. If you take a job here, be prepared to do that job for a long time for the same money.

Pros

Was a good place to work... Had smart people and was fun. The bonus plan at first actually looked excellent..

Cons

No career prospects. No clear direction, it changes every couple of months. People spend all their time covering their own backs and not working as a team. It is all down to me me me.. Management have let too many good people leave because of workload, poor renumeration (the 2010 pay review was a net pay cut), Bonus plan that is designed to actually never pay out, it pays yearly (who does that, seriously). They never fire incompetent staff, they promote them to manager and they do more harm there. There will unlikely be a 2011 bonus, just like there was non in 2010.. Other than the IPO bonus paid to Execs, the rank and file got nothing... The 'share saving plan' if you got it in the last 3 years forget your shares making you money that share price is on it's way to 4 pounds a share when your quoted 8. The management in public are all 'ethical' but behind those board room doors they are deceitful and go back on everything the preach..
