Advice to Management

Why retain employees who have crises every month, leave work to go home early, complain about the company, play on their phones during work hours and act all bratty when they make avoidable mistakes?

Pragmatic and modern approach to work - casual attire and not allergic to technology. Good work life balance. Great management, professional but relaxed. Career progression and opportunities real

Cons

Projects are sometimes pushed to production before before ready

Pros

Literally nothing is positive about my experience. The canteen is ok - and they do cheese on toast. The soup is decent as well.

Cons

I work in the mortgage BI Team, which is split across Skipton and Bingley. The organisation of projects is nothing short of pathetic. Requirements are split between several project managers who all contradict each other and block things to make themselves relevant and justify their existence, poorly worded ambiguous Excel documents, and the BI Management’s heads. When you ask BI Management about anything, they... answers in a smug and condescending manner, implying that you are asking stupid questions. Testing teams find themselves clarifying requirements with the client, days after the deadline, and all the while, you get blamed for the non delivery. The management of BI, which consists of the above management and several incompetent managers who have no clue on anything to do with BI, needs disbanding. The director of BI hadn’t been in place for very long, and in my opinion was the right person to rebuild the team. He just needed a mandate to replace the existing management that has been in place for far too long and with the company for 25 years. Unfortunately, they made the director redundant and are persisting with the current poor management. Oh and one of the coding standards - you must put your where clauses in the join statements - apparently this makes it easier to read. There’s a reason why nowhere else does it this way. I have to say this is without doubt the most stupid coding standard I have ever seen!!

Advice to Management

This team needs totally new management and a completely different way of defining requirements.

Pros

Lots of travel and responsibility are given to even lower scale roles.

Cons

A lot of corporate politics (Seemed worse than other places) but once you were 'in' these became irrelevant.
