      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working (not unusual to do homeworking) Generous pay and benefits Nice offices Great location with view over the Southbank Senior staff are approachable Work with colleagues all over the world Learning and development opportunities for staff at all levels Staff encouraged to change roles every 4 years (lateral or promotion), which is great for career development and deeper understanding of the company Annual staff survey is taken seriously Colleagues are collaborative and easy to work with

      Cons

      It is not uncommon to work long hours (evening / weekend) although the company does encourage work / life balance (but workloads can make it difficult to achieve that) Yearly feedback and 'score' can be confusing and demotivating. Confusing due to anonymous comments collected from colleagues, often without context. Demotivating due to 'relative ranking' which means you are not rated simply by how well you met your goals but also how well you scored against others (so you could get a lower score and exceed your targets, or a better score when you only met your targets) Projects and processes tend to be over-engineered. This can make them complicated, long-winded and confusing. Company values can be quite 'cult-ish' such that documented 'correct' ways of thinking and behaving are forcefully imposed, it can be quite suffocating, and feel like being programmed as an automaton.
