Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Good right now, but in danger of loosing good people through rigid business model and administrative heavy processes
Pros: Good employee benefits with flexible working. I don't know of any other employer that would allows the same level of responsibility in terms of organising working hours and location.
Cons: Internal processes are cumbersome and frustrating. Hours are long and the culture is increasingly one of working 7 days a week. Pay reviews are poor, the pot for an annual increase is reduced every year. The salary benchmarking is a farse, with roles being measured against incorrect external criteria resulting in lower pay than contempories in other businesses.
