DEPT Reviews

Management team is terrible, its made up of people who think they know everything, but don't actually know how to manage or lead people. Even worse all of them are friends, so they always look out for each other even when they say and do things that are out of pocket. They have been there for years, so they get together and promote themselves but don't really know how to lead or manage people. The company has terrible diversity, oh its so bad, they will tell you they are diverse because of gender, 75% of people are female. But how is that diversity when that 75% is white females? They say they are working on it, but years later it only got worse and they literally started actually thinking about it when it almost cost them losing a client.

More interested in the profit than the culture and wellbeing of their employees. It was once a great place to work but has slowly turned into a toxic environment where asking questions can get you reported to management or you are gotten rid of under the pretence of not being a good “culture” fit. Micromanagement is rife throughout the development department with Project Managers and Service Delivery Managers constantly asking for updates every hour to 2 hours leading into frustration and lack of respect towards developers. Complaints about employees behaviour are not taken seriously and ignored by Management and HR which has caused people to leave. Mental health well being is not treated well at this company, they put on a pretence of understanding with a small talk/presentation but that is just a tokenism. During my time working their a large number of employees have voiced up about declining mental health which has been ignored. The workload is absolutely atrocious, employees are left with too many plates to juggle trying to work on several clients at the same time and all management respond with is that it is a “fast paced” environment. No chance for career progression as their excuses are always that there are no projects to move onto.
