Pros

progression assured regardless of talent. Everyone is leaving so they need to keep people somehow.

Cons

Lots of people covering for their lack of experience and talent. They cover by asserting their opinions. No innovation dispite the 'most innovative' title. They have been left behind, stuck in their ways, not open to new tech or opportunities. Bully and cliche culture with many decisions made before consultation. Unhappy workforce largely due to the lack of responsibility taken by senior management decisions. That, and their endless hours and lack of impact with clients. Use redundancy as a form of performance review. They will make people redundant that they don't feel are performing, then re-hire into the position a month later. Internal training is non-existant. You have to make a business case to be trained to do your job. Wants to believe they are a 'big company' so badly they forgot what's good about being small. No culture to speak of, stupid buzzwords instead. They had a culture and killed it

Pros

Struggling to think of any outside of the ordinary

Cons

- Terrible senior management practices and culture - Onboarding process is chaotic and not structured - Directors belittle you and discourage you when working on projects - was once asked if ‘I knew how to use calendar in outlook ‘ when trying to book a meeting with a director! Outrageous - No fun e.g no team drinks, no team lunches … just work work work - Got sent a letter advising I’d passed my probation at 10:15 and 1hour later, found out I hadn’t due to failure of not meeting an unrealistic deadline that had been set prior to me joining the organisation! System1 is a truly shocking and unorganised place to be. I’d avoid avoid avoid
