Mixed bag: good pay, nice colleagues, shaky management where inconsistent policies hinder progress
Pros
* Committed and hard working colleagues - the team comprises genuinely nice people who support each other during both highs and lows. * Competitive salary - while the salary is good, it’s essential to consider the trade-offs. * Inspirational purpose - the IP carries a lovely message, which can be motivating short term.
Cons
* Uncertain company future - the organization’s instability due to frequent layoffs and redundancies over the past two years raises concerns, and the lack of a clear strategy or commitment exacerbates this issue. * Overbearing CEO: his micromanagement, including screening Instagram posts, hampers efficiency. * Lack of streamlining approval processes is curbing progress. * Inconsistent management - frequent changes in rules, plans, deadlines, and budgets create confusion. * Lack of centralized monitoring - despite efforts, the absence of a centralized system makes tracking progress challenging and transparency almost impossible. * Restricted creativity - collaborative work occurs within tight boundaries, hindering innovation. * Questionable promotions -promoting individuals without relevant experience to high positions impacted overall effectiveness. * Diversity and Inclusion gap - celebratory emails alone don’t foster a truly inclusive workplace. The company should actively promote diversity and create an inclusive environment. * HR Challenges - the absence of an employee handbook, vague contracts, and undefined role descriptions pose difficulties to defend yourself in face of redundancies.
