Nominet Reviews

Cons

- Still reactive rather than proactive when it comes to change. - large projects have been slow going.

Cons

I can't really think of any.

Cons

Senior management have recently taken a "our way or the highway" approach, following changes to a hybrid working policy, and rather than listen to staff, have dug their heels in. A lot of good talent has been lost since the change announcements, despite their constant reassurances that retention is in line with the rest of the industry. A lot of red tape - actually making meaningful change happen is incredibly difficult, as the company is _extremely_ risk averse.

Cons

Nominet is really struggling due to a lack of strong leadership and a serious issue with accountability. This, in turn, is really taking a toll on the morale of the employees. Honestly, I'm not convinced that the upper management team even grasps the true essence of the company's values. The value of integrity seems to have almost disappeared, and the sense of ownership has been clouded by the frequent lack of accountability in many cases. Ever since the new ways of working were introduced, trust in the company has taken a nosedive. What's even worse is that the same old mistakes keep happening over and over again - things like poor communication and a complete lack of empathy. It's been a tough situation all around.

Cons

The board: Their “one day a week” mandatory in the office policy is an own goal, less said about the way it was delivered … appalling. Upset a lot of loyal, hard-working staff, and given managers a headache to deal with that. No where near dynamic enough, some tech is best part of 10 years too old, and is too slow to change, and now starting to haemorrhage staff because of this, and poor decisions on 20%/one day a week policy. Resting on one’s laurels for too long, has caused stagnation. Utterly depressing, that something with so much promise, now has none. Glassdoor ratings tanking, for a reason.

Cons

Communication failures, extremely busy, understaffed.

Cons

previously rated this company 5 starts. is now a hollow shell and I'm sad. as a horrendous out of know where mandate that not a single employee I can find was in favour of right up to senior leadership. to pull everyone back into the office when many of us were promised by HR on employment this was never anything to worry about. they even put remote work contracts and are now telling us it's makes no difference you have to come in. I feel forced out of the business and leaving a role I love even to this date. I have been told I am an incredibly value employee whom over delivered every year and now feel like I have done something wrong becuase of where I live. harrowing! HR do not care about staff which is a shame becuase literally every other team is incredible

Cons

HR are out to get you, you have to watch what you say with them

Cons

Ever changing priorities 90s technology held together with duct tape Forced return to the Oxford office

Cons

HR were the main problem at Nominet. I left just before the 'remote working massacre' due to HR offering higher salaries to junior engineers whom I was expected to train. I was told 'that's the market rate now'. I was a lead engineer.
