    5 Year Milestone: Letter from the CEO

    What more you want eh?
    Can we all just agree that anyone who is a director of a small limited company and calls themselves “CEO” is a twat?

        I'm not sure that lad in the cream meets all the hiring criteria either.. He needs to watch himself me thinks.

        Just found something positive about them.....

        It appears they do allow a glass of free water twice a day.... unless you are late.
        Had to double check that drawing on their right hand, looked like a coded message to the outside world about their boss

          Who says there is a market downturn. They've got 25 positions open in their careers section.

            I kinda believe the glass door reviewer that says something along the lines of getting sold a gig and then it being massively different when you get in.

                This has to be a joke, right?

                  Probably we’ve all met similar characters, some people are just better at dressing it up. But the message and purpose could be the same.
                  Same Puritan idea of virtue through suffering and enlightenment of the working class from hard work.
                  If it was in a bank you’d have 200 phd’s fighting for it.

                  What is definitely missing is the HR personal touch, to make everything more diverse, open, fair and stick a bow to that smelly tulip.

                    I really hope so, as mentioned above I wouldn't want anyone to get dragged into working there.

                    I've posted a couple of frivolous comments on linkedin and twitter, no idea if it will put people off.

                      Snippet from the glassdoor reviews - I'm quite disgusted:

                      The work environment is horrible, I quickly dreaded having to go into work. No one wants to be there and everyone is scared to look up from their screens in case they are seen to be "wasting time". Any small chit chat was frowned upon by the upper management as they basically want mindless robots who can pump out 100% productivity for every hour of the day.
                      ...taking advantage of young apprentices (no one last over 6-7 months there)

                      They sack people overnight without excuse and they don't pay your salary
                      ...expect you to live and breathe the company
                      working late without overtime pay
                      underpaid
                      taking away lunch breaks
                      controlling management with trust issues
                      school rules
