Career progression: "The progression/promotion process is quite time-consuming and a lot of effort. There doesn't appear to be a lot of flexibility to finish your graduate role early"
Graduates on the same pay: "I don't think we do bonuses, and my last pay rise moved me to the same rate as all other 2nd year graduates, most of whom I have more experience. However, I did receive a mid-year pay rise last week, which I appreciate"
