Pros

- I have no pros

Cons

- serious miscommunication with recruitment and what you will be doing for the role - very unprofessional. You are promised the role after your training from the recruitment team is guaranteed which is a complete lie - don't bother wasting your time

Pros

Generally the non-management people that worked there were a good bunch...oh and nice location in brighton...erm thats about it.

Cons

Where do you start... Sell you complete lies about the companies actual capabilities. No communication between senior managers and staff. Huge egos across senior management team, will belittle you in front of everyone. No joined up aporoach Commission (or lack of is a total joke, especially when they reduce the %) Expected to stay late even when you have done everything. No structure in place, it really is a cowboy environment. Micromanaging across the board, no trust at all. Hire and fire mentality. No formal training structure in place. Hugely long sales cycles. Sales floor is like a morgue most of the time. Unrealistic goals and timelines for kpi's, along with constantly changing goalposts. Dont treat the graduates very well, they say they get a choice in where they are placed...this is not true. All staff were generally unhappy most of the time. On the whole its a joke of a company to be honest. Management is attrocious and there is no real form of support whatsoever. They have very few customers as QA Consulting, and are not a true end to end consultancy firm. They are more of a glorified recruitment firm.

Pros

None. A very poor experience. Many talented and experienced colleagues were bullied, burned out and chose to jump ship. Some job roles poorly defined with a 'make-it-up-as-you-go-along approach.' What a waste of potential. Many have found better work and treatment elsewhere. My worst job by far. Hold onto your value (s) and keep looking.

Cons

Claustrophobic working conditions both physically and psychologically. Very little recharge time due to short holidays and high workloads. Constant exhaustion with no energy for outside interests. Constant change. Safeguarding issues often ignored. No trust. Skills and ideas undervalued and ignored. Unskilled, reactive and defensive management. Too much spin about 'benefits.' You pay a high price with your physical and mental health.
