Toxic culture

Pros

Great coworkers who welcome you, great teamworking. As said in previous reviews, people below senior management seem to be united in empathy in being led by appalling executive leadership.

Cons

Where to start? I think you should read the Company responses to previous reviews to see the true picture where the company mask has slipped. Just look through the inane "Wow, awesome, exciting times ahead!" type comments in response to one of the few positive reviews (some earlier reviewers have even suggested positive reviews were plants!). Anyone who makes a less-than-glowing review seems to be invited to go and speak to the V.Ps about it! Please don't do that; there is a real and valid fear of reprisals in this company! There is one particular reply from the VP to a review around March/April this year which is very revealing. The reviewer said that the executive leadership were not living the values - this is very true in my opinion - the corporate values are just words. The VP's response to this was that the reviewer was making 'accusations' !! Woah there Sunquest!! This was perfectly legitimate and valid feedback in an open forum, about the leadership's disregard of the values in their behavior, and Sunquest replies by saying they are making 'accusations'! This speaks volumes. It is an example of the sort of arrogance, and reluctance to hear any non-positive feedback that is rife through the executive leadership. If you want to work for a company which really values and acts on valid employee feedback, then avoid this company. The culture is toxic, a total lack of trust exists, as there is a genuine fear of reprisals. There have been many job losses. Sunquest says they have hired 40 people this year - but they don't say whether these are to replace the ones they regularly dismiss.

Pros

The office is friendly and the people are great. If you like a modern office out in the countryside then it is a pleasant environment to work in.

Cons

I do not think the management know what they are doing. The staff turnover rate is very high, and people leave because they do not like what is going on. It is too hard to actualy get work done. You may get a manager from another country or timezone trying to manage you. They only take on new inexperieced staff.

Pros

Free coffee, Free parking, Mainly good co-workers, though many leaving. CEO Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons

Do not value employees. Very high staff turnover 25%+ Replace Senior staff with graduates Sales team is are the "special ones", yes they bring the sales in, but the rest have to makes slaes promises reality! No support from mid-level managers Supervisors do not know the job of their employees and mentoring is a joke Competent managers, not allowed to apply for higher roles! (Told their applications will not be accepted!!) The 4DX managment tool that must be worshipped, that Richard Atkin loves, perhaps new guy will delete! The WIGS/WAGS, (stretch work that must be part of your job) they dont talk about, from 4DX. They paid for this? They teach it freee to kids in schools, its called "Smart Targeting" 15 hours of telephone meetings/week not unknown, leaves 25 hrs for work, and you want us to fit in 40hrs plus work into that? Executive team extremely focused on the short term results and sacrificing the long term potential of the company by paying lip service to investing properly in the products or people. Low pay once you get any experience and raises are capped at below inflation (that's if you are an overachiever and work 50hrs+/week). The Exec's set unrealistic goals and people who try to explain the gap between the goal, seem to disappear. Executive team in US, India and UK teams an afterthought, a token exec on a 1yr "punishment" posting to UK, then another, and another. UK moral rock bottom, again! Execs "Why? no one told us (again!)", perhaps if got out of offices and asked some questions and stopped shooting messengers you might learn about what is going on in company. The overtly "Good, ethical, tree hugging" persona top level wants to portray "Billion dollar health care company with a heart" tagline Annual webcast "Reward the useless, promote the incomptent, have a naff plastic award", will donate a few to a US/Good cause,to mark your effort, if I work in in India /UK why not a local cause? Ordered to enjoy self at same "clap harder, over your head, cheer an an exec coughed" Release dates fixed, lets slip another 600 hours development in and keep same date! "Why are you struggling to complete?" Produce more lines of code/day!! Then wonder why bug rate goes up!! Legacy programs written in PASCAL!!!!, still in use. UK HR tries, but US policies that are in cases illegal!!
