Pros

Moorgate office with free snacks. Good for social life if you are young (in your 20s) like most people working in Data Fancy summer party International and diverse staff They are willing to sponsor work visas for many non-EU employees

Cons

Misleading job advert, data entry job dressed up as being an Analyst job - some teams are better than others but many people do copy paste. Must spend minimum 18 months in data before can move internally to sales etc. Data is in smaller separate building so you have no interaction with people from the rest of the organisation although this will change when move to new office currently under construction. Near complete lack of exposure to intelligent people to learn from, as to be expected from data entry role... Smarter people with industry experience work in other teams in completely different building. Strange infantile environment, like being back at school. You will be treated like a child. Cult-like. Micromanagement.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
