Pros
-Paid online training - Met a few friendly and supportive peer colleagues but half of the people I met across the business are cynical
Cons
- Too many narcissists and bullies and their enablers across departments - Distracting environment with office dramas and politics - Mind games and manipulations are used for blame-shifting and gaslighting - Management with logical reasoning of a 5-year-old - Promotions and special treatments (WFH, flexible hours) are awarded by favouritism not merits and skills - Unrealistic and unreasonable expectations from management with zero support in technical, internal or external client management aspects - High turnover. Many left shortly after a year in the company - Marketed as a diverse company but not put into practice. Culture shaped around the loudest speakers in the room. Ways of working dictated by a small number of people who are often narcissistic and possess no real skills in the industry. - Silo work environment where one person is expected to do it all - Company values soft skills over hard skills. Higher pay for non-technical staff on the same level - Repeated mis-hire and staff not passing probation across the business - Hiring staff with no relevant education/ work experience to do technical work. Some even stayed long in the business despite poor performance but only if they’re white - The actual experience, opportunities, career prospects and support were very different to what was promised in the job interview - all the emails about valuing mental health is useless when the company is filled with people pressure you to work long hours and play mind games *if you’re not extroverted and white, mind games/ manipulations aren’t your thing, this is not the place for you. I would not recommend this place to anyone who values honesty and integrity.
