Not a positive experience
Pros: Variety of work (for some).
Young work environment, social.
Progression path clear.
Cons: A negative environment to work in, plenty of expectation for you to work overtime with no benefit or recognition. Coupled with such a low starting salary this could potentially leave you working at less than the minimum wage. Wave good-bye to your work life balance.
Favouritism from senior management is evident, end of year review process is therefore biased also penalised in year-end moderation if you are working on projects in a different department than your team despite having no choice and bringing in revenue. Awesome.
High staff turnover.
Pay in comparison to all other UK regions is pitifully low.
Role models in the company are few and far between, especially females.
You have little to no say in whether you travel or not, not ideal if you have children or other commitments outside work - again work life balance is completely compromised.
Some team leads/managers should not be in their roles - I have been bullied by some, thrown under the bus by others, had my personal life questioned and been belittled over things beyond my control.
Work can be mind-numbingly boring or incredibly stressful.
