Any of ye know about the company ALISON?

I've been researching it for a good while now as a place to work. (Jeez I hope this doesn't sound like some weird marketing attempt or something, it's not)

I'm just wondering if anyone here has any opinion on working there, what it's like, what the culture there is like, that sort of thing.

Bit of a long shot, I know. I'm not expecting much by way of answers tbh!

I worked there for a while a few years ago. Staff turnover is very high. I found the boss very demanding and not at all personable. Many staff were either in on student placements or there under a year. Maybe it's changed since. I wouldn't work there again.

Was originally venture-capital funded, but I guess that's run out. Interesting business model. Even when they had the venture capital, they had lots of unpaid interns. Check that it's a paying position before proceeding. There are better - and worse - places to work
