Pros
9-5 working hours Fresh Fruit twice a week Relaxed management Relaxed working environment Very fun and multicultural team Interesting product Brand is well known Small offices where everyone knows everyone CSR program
Cons
9-5 mentality Blatant favoritism between certain managers and certain employees (promotions, sales territory etc...) Sales managers have no management experience. They are ex-sales people who hit target for 2-3 years Very limited benefits Lots of bureaucracy/slow processes for a small company (250 employees in London) A lot of the research is done by Graduates and is outsourced to temp researchers. If client is a specialist he will very quickly notice that Marketing is nonexistent - there's is a Communications department which is managed by the owner's wife (who works part time) Management seems to be complacent with mediocrity
