Talented Team Stifled by Misaligned Leadership and Persistent Issues
Pros
Talented individuals and industry experts, especially within our local UK Commercial, Operations, and IT teams. A pleasant office with good facilities located in a vibrant part of London with excellent transport links. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where saying 'yes' to senior leadership is expected, regardless of the potential issues their decisions may cause, then this is the company for you!
Cons
Many of the 'fantastic people' mentioned in the Pros section are now facing redundancy. Over the years, we have increasingly outsourced work to markets where it is cheaper to operate. While we are now adopting an 'offshoring' model that allows us to claim our expertise remains 'in-house,' many of our talented team members are leaving the business. Employee wellbeing is not a priority. We say it is, but our actions suggest otherwise. It is becoming increasingly difficult to afford to be an employee at this company, both financially and psychologically. A combination of issues—redundancies across departments, lack of care, persistent technical and finance problems, confusion over the direction and future of our business, uncompetitive salaries and benefits, and the absence of pay rises over recent years, to name a few—has created a melting pot where employees outside of our senior leadership and marketing teams feel increasingly demotivated, demoralised, and under-appreciated.
