Pros

The company benefits, healthcare, pension, flexi-work

Cons

So unorganised, no communication, was provided a second hand laptop which was filthy, didn’t even work, messed up more than once. Constantly waiting for an update regarding the apprenticeship, was sat there doing nothing for 2 months because nothing was organised. 0 structure

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations during your time with us. We’re pleased that you found value in the benefits package, including healthcare, pension, and flexible working — these are important to us, and we’re glad these aspects stood out positively. That said, we take your comments around organisation, communication, and onboarding very seriously. Waiting for updates, particularly around something as important as an apprenticeship, is not the experience we want anyone to have. We understand how frustrating that must have been, and we’re actively working to improve how we plan, communicate, and support new starters. We also appreciate your candid advice. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It’s invaluable in helping us identify where we need to do better, and we wish you all the best in your future career.
