Pros
- Colleagues are a group of intelligent and amibitious people. - London office has a great location.
Cons
- Day to day work is often mundane and repetitive. - Majority of team leaders are too inexperienced and are badly trained. - Management is obsessed with targets and metrics - this means researchers are constantly monitored, measured and scrutinised, resulting in monthly and even bi-monthly reviews. Complete waste of everyone's time and only piles on the pressure. - High staff turnover: people are leaving in droves, causing in a strain in resources (manpower) and an odd atmosphere. - The company is targeting top graduates but doesn't offer them enough (e.g. stimulating work!), which means researchers get bored easily and leave. The work doesn't require someone with first from a leading university, but someone reasonably intelligent, articulate, and target-driven. That is all.
