Quantitative ratings are based on small samples: Glassdoor UK lists about a 5.0 overall from 3 reviews, Indeed shows around 4.0 overall from 7 reviews with strong work-life balance (4.8), and Google-based Birdeye aggregates 5.0 from 12 reviews. (glassdoor.co.uk)

Common criticisms include pay levels relative to duties and some concerns around belonging or trust within a small team, per employee reviews. (indeed.com)

Because the available feedback comes from a limited number of reviews across a few platforms (roughly 3–12 reviews) and includes client testimonials in addition to employee feedback, these impressions may not fully represent every employee experience. (glassdoor.com)
