Pros

Immediate colleagues were really good to work with. They made an effort to use modern front-end technologies.

Cons

The line between a contractor or a permenant employee is more or less absence apart from the salary difference. No other benefits e.g. training. Virtually to meetings with line manager for catchups or reviews. Location change isnt great too. Basically, The way the IT team is managed you don't feel you are a permie, rather a contractor who can be let go at any moment. Just not worth it considering the location and alternatives in the London area. Experience seems to reflect how staff are managed in the established Sales division

Pros

Good base salary with a lot of potential to grow if you can make yourself put up with the horrible work environment.

Cons

I saw all of the negative reviews on Glassdoor before I took this job and didn't think much of it because usually people only post when they've had a bad experience... but STEER CLEAR! I've never been surrounded by such downgrading, micromanaging, rude people in my life. Some supervisors here are from a different country and they just don't understand American culture and how you treat people. Hell may be better than working at Ink. I wouldn't refer this job to my worst enemy.

Thank you for your feedback. May I say that Ink prides itself by providing an inspiring environment where every employee has an equal chance for growth, learning and development. I’m sorry you didn’t feel positively about the work environment. We agree, most people post negative reviews on the Glassdoor, but we really do appreciate the feedback as it allows us to tackle any problem. Ink is a multicultural company but we appreciate and respect that each country has different styles. We therefore aim to follow that countries best practices, but we also pride ourselves in learning and transferring different successful skills and experiences. Managers serve to motivate and guide people, not to micromanage them. We can assure you that micromanaging is not encouraged as part of our culture. We do however monitor sales and KPI’s – as how else are we going to reward good performance?!
