Pros

A chance to learn different programming languages and put the latest buzzwords on your CV

Cons

Software development in London office is run by a clique of ex-ThoughtWorks (IT consultancy) employees who are afraid of people asking the “wrong questions”. Yes, some mess was created by a recent merger, but the current development, instead of consolidating on one of the platform, generates even more mess with no sign of proper technical leadership, just former IT consultancy employees writing and re-writing again whatever they fancy while ensuring that nobody else steps out of the line. The only way to survive there is to keep your head down, and to be careful not to ask accidentally a “wrong question” while learning to do your job.

Pros

If there was an option for 0 stars I would probably go for that. I liked working at Crest till the time I was walking the Manager walk after that it was hell's road to put it lightly. The minute you oppose the management's decisions this place forgets the hours and dedication one has put into the company.

Cons

The HR & Senior Management needs to be trained on how to run a company. These people wouldn't think of the person and his commitments just their own gain. They will put you on a pedestal if they think they can squeeze more work out of you. Once the project is done you don't get proper appreciation. The Management at Crest asks a person to leave if they feel like. If you ask to speak to the CEO he will avoid you and not talk to you almost like he was afraid of meeting you. It was very strange and unprofessional to experience such characters in a work place environment. Their Hire & Fire policy remains the same 3 yrs on I still hear of Crest firing folks who have been loyal to them for more than 6 yrs. Now they seem to be losing business as well. If things don't improve they might just find themselves back in Giga Space or worse.

Pros

There was only one reason I was working in Crest (Copy Editing) for -- Work from home allowance. Still, that is seasonal, which means there is workload only for 2-3 months a year. Otherwise, you only get your salary which is quite meagre.

Cons

Lack of managerial skills. There are few so-called "team leaders" who literally torture you and there are some who just love to do gossiping about their employees. Employees are not respected at all. There is this trend called "PIP" where employees are put on and are eventually fired by giving some foolish reasons. I, and many others, never understand why they hire employees in bulk when there is no workload at all.
