Startup mentality and boys club culture stem from senior management

Pros

Overall you have the ability to talk to senior management directly about concerns and feedback, however secondary level management isn't as mature to take on the feedback without taking it personally. Young office, casual dress all week (personal preference would be for business casual instead), dependant on your role and client base, you have the chance to work with colleagues globally as you would expect. HR has implemented an employee council which empowers staff to feedback to management and implement some changes.

Cons

Company culture is definitely the typical 'sales orientated, drinking every week' culture - if you don't drink to excess you are 'out', this culture is driven by senior UK and global management, company events are (in my experience) all about drinking. HR is still a young function and is trying to implement procedures and process, unfortunately due to the 'boys club' culture, I can see potential for sexual or discrimination grievances unless management changes. Secondary level management varies, and there doesn't appear to be a proper focus on soft skill management training to ensure that you are retaining good staff instead of them leaving due to bad people management.

Pros

casual work environment in nice new office

Cons

very high school. Lots of gossip and pretty girls don't have to learn how to do their job. The three inside sales managers are terrible and do nothing except have meetings with each other and play favorites. Different rules for their friends. Bad pay, expect you to do all of the outside reps work while they make all the money. Preach family and open door but couldn't be further from the truth. Have also released people who were promoted and made too much money. Even had one of those employees train a new hire and once she trained new hire they let her go. Very unprofessional company. Company surveys are never paid attention to and problems never fixed. They talk a big game but don't believe the hype. Worst place I ever worked.

Pros

It's definitely a work hard, play hard environment. You will be rewarded for your hard work. The company culture is amazing and I honestly can't see myself working anywhere else.

Cons

Not really a con, but there is a lot to learn very quickly and if you are not keeping up, it will be noticed.
