Pros

5 weeks vacation. Good work life balance (highly dependent on your role and manager).

Cons

Benefits have been cut multiple times over the past few years. Pay is not very competitive. Extremely high turnover across the business (sales, research, consulting). Not many opportunities for career advancement (unless you carry a U.K. passport).

Pros

The people here are what makes this company - they are intelligent, friendly and loyal folks. I worked with all levels across the company and they are very passionate about what they do. Generally good pay & benefits although decent bonuses are a thing of the past. Good office space and cafe.

Cons

Micro managing, empire building and a general lack of trust from higher management - they’re scared you want their job and will (you can) do a better job. Lack of promotion, especially for women - flexible working hours although promoted heavily is not fully supported across the board and part time workers are frowned upon. Big mistrust of HR who are seen as too corporate - there to protect the business but not the people.

Pros

5 week vacation, good health insurance

Cons

Lack of leadership, lack of strategy, no business focus, no career advancement or professional training. HUGE buddy-system, extremely UK centric - anything that doesn't come out of the UK it's seen as not good. C-executives have no clue of what they are doing, they have no knowledge of what's going on nor they care
