Vantaggi
The Japanese owners of the company exhibit greater humility and gratitude compared to the UK tech management leaders below, who operate the business in a more cowboy approach.
Svantaggi
Slavery mentality in IT with aggressive bullying tactics. IT Support is relentlessly pushed to their limits, to the point of exhaustion. Senior IT staff and managers contribute little while indulging in extended breaks. The upper management within technology are very judgemental and unproductive, often working from home using IT staff for fast results only to look good. Tech leaders have no fundamental technological understanding, they are constantly looking for one man to rectify their chaotic infrastructure due to their collective inability. There's a scarcity of knowledge resources and training, and everything is alarmingly outdated. Requests for development and support often result in discourteous responses. The use of profanity and intimidation towards new IT staff is unfortunately tolerated. HR often turns a blind eye to instances of unfair treatment. Employees are harshly judged for not meeting impractical demands. Outdated and cumbersome technology that offers little room for growth or learning. The technology managers can severely harm your career. Consider joining only if you are desperate. IT management specialise in sacking people who resist their backward approach.
