Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Confirmed

Not a meritocracy
Pros: Great company to put on your CV
Smart people
Lots of training
Cons: I was told that I wouldn't be promoted because they knew the market was bad and no one was really going to move right now. I was told my performance was exceptional but promotions don't happen on merit. It depends on how long you have been at that level for. Promotions are with the discretion of your line manager which is ridiculous as its only one person deciding whether to put you forward or not.
