Pros

People are lovely. Try hard, work well, and have a common goal. Nice environment. Pays well (probably overpays to be honest!).

Cons

Often, the common goal becomes surviving the micro-managing blame culture that comes from the top. The leader (MD?) constantly changes his mind, and spouts the latest thing he's read. Has favourites, and dissenting voices are ruthlessly isolated. The turnover is horrific, and there are numerous reports of issues that have persisted for some time, which feel very true. We all believe poor performance shouldn't be tolerated, but here, it's so frequent you wonder how they hire (and then discover the recruitment consultants most commonly used are the best friends and wife of the boss). Those that have left are belittled, but quiet chats reveal issues that are believable ranging from bullying to racism.

Pros

This is the best company I have worked for! The people, the culture and the working environment are so good. There is flexibility with a hybrid working environment, there are regular social's and we've recently had a day out at a trials farm to see how our software can help growers make good decisions to maximise the performance of their crops. Our recent Employee Satisfaction Survey shows that we are exceeding the high performing norm of companies and yet the company is still looking to improve! The people are dedicated and motivated. There is open communication and everyone genuinely wants to help each other. We are based on a campus with great facilities and the office is modern with break out areas for collaboration and a great coffee machine! Did I mention the large chocolate snack drawer? We are also pet friendly so we allow a dog in once a week on a Tuesday.

Cons

Not sure I can find any. I would like to explore more opportunities for OD across our landscape and environmental businesses but this is evolving.
