Pros

Nice freebies from suppliers and a new ceo coming.

Cons

Culture and Leadership: At ALM, the workplace culture is tainted by toxicity, characterised by a glaring lack of transparency and communication from the leadership team. Decision-making appears arbitrary, and there is a noticeable absence of support for employees. The leadership exhibits detachment and disinterest in addressing the valid concerns raised by the workforce. Office Environment: ALM's physical work environment is outdated, falling below industry standards for office facilities. There is an evident lack of investment in creating a comfortable and productive workspace. The absence of a seating plan contributes to a hierarchical structure where senior staff often claim seats over juniors who arrive earlier, fostering an unfair dynamic within the office. Workplace Behavior: Unprofessional behavior permeates the workplace environment at ALM, including gossip, inappropriate language, and a general lack of courtesy. This not only fosters a hostile atmosphere but also leads to decreased productivity and collaboration among team members. Failure to Uphold Professional Standards: In spite of the company's code of conduct, ALM demonstrates a consistent failure to uphold professional standards. Senior staff frequently make inappropriate remarks in a purportedly "joking way," undermining the commitment to a professional and respectful work environment outlined in the company's guidelines.

Pros

A great purpose driven company. I work with great people that care about what they do and build strong relationships both internal and external. A flexibile work environment where possible.

Cons

Complexity and duplication exist in this organisation. Simplification and alignment of structure and process will help to alleviate but some foundational alignment needs to occur first.
