Pros

good work life balance. good benefits in place.

Cons

despite being optimitic by nature, I can't see myself working for this company next year as there is no room to progress in the organisation. All current managers have been recently promoted from their previous jobs, so the business won't create any new position for managers.

This is disappointing to read. We are a growing business and part of this involves investing in training and career development for every one here. We have introduced individual development plans which will bring in new skills and help us grow our talented people. I would really like to talk through this further – perhaps we could have a call? If so, please feel free to drop me a line on 0203 060 8767.

Pros

I have been with the company for 6 months and have had a positive experience. Working with talented professionals who really care about they do and how they do it, makes for a great environment to work in. The company is very supportive of work life balance and really lives by it's values.

Cons

The company is going through a huge change transformation which is not a con but with any change comes a level of uncertainity and continued management of this will be required.
