The office in London is reasonably nice, and they have some good company benefits.

If I could rate less than 1/5, I would.

HR, or as they call it, the ERC department, is just plain awful and useless. You're the bad guy if you make a complaint. "We're going to offer you a generous amount of bereavement leave, but if you decide to use it, we're going to treat you like some 💩 we just stepped in."

Managers are basically allowed to do what they want and are perfectly allowed to try and derail your career. They can put you in low standing with the company for no justifiable reason, and then, even if you want to try and improve yourself, you are no longer allowed the resources to do that.

They also misreport your salary to HMRC, so that they think you've been paid vastly more than they've paid you (i.e., they duplicate monthly entries). When you email ERC to tell them, they ignore you and ghost you. Meanwhile, the taxman is taking a four-figure number out of your paycheck each month because they don't know any better.

And when you finally get hard evidence that you've been subject to constructive dismissal and open up a grievance with the company, they will ignore you and ghost you, seemingly in the hope that you will go past the three-month mark of your leaving. This means you would be unable to go through an employment tribunal process.
