      Great purpose, but bullying is still fine

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Amazing, intelligent, dedicated people. You really want to work with them. Thanks to them you actually want to wake up and come to work - Big purpose, helping patients from NHS, you can feel that your work have real impact on people's life - No imposed requirement of coming to the office x times per week. Very flexible and respecting different needs -Agile, flexible and vibrant environment. There is a high pace to your work, but you will never get bored with your work

      Cons

      - Nepotism is a thing. If you have good internal connections, you'll get high in the structure. Hard to grow your career if you are an amazing expert though. - People will get management responsibilities even though they have zero skills to be a manager. No consequences will be taken towards bad managers performance. Managers performance will not be reviewed against how well they manage people - Decisions made by management very often are disconnected from what is happening 'on the grounds' of the company. Advice given by experts not taken seriously enough during the decision making process. No clear process for decision making. It very often ends up in fixing things ad hoc which could have been avoided if management would have listen to their experts - If you are bullied most likely you will end up leaving the company. There is zero support from HR in such situations, bullied person is usually ignored by the company . The bullying person will stay and continue to thrive within the company

      Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We would really appreciate if you could raise them either directly to someone in the People team or via Your Voice on Bob which is our confidential email. We are investing in building up our career development approach and building on our skills both from a leadership and operational point of view so I am very disappointed to hear you feel like this. We have also recently invested in exploring some of the concerns you raise around decision making through an internal programme which we will be sharing more details of. I would urge you to please share your example around bullying not being addressed. Again use the Your Voice facility if you wish to stay anonymous. We have a clear and consistent process to follow up on any allegations of bullying so this is disappointing to read this is your experience.
