-Pay disparities between departments and no pay transparency available.
-No pay review schedule in place or any transparency around pay review schedules. Pay increases seem to be ad-hoc and given to some not others.
-Salaries are consistently below market rates.
-Micro-management from C level team - lack of chain of command in place, C-Level team contact team members directly on daily tasks as opposed to going through managers first, sometimes out of office hours.
-Very little time given to project management, requests for new work are frequent and disorganised.
-Lack of project management leads to many departments working overtime, despite the fact that work/life balance and a 9-5 day is promoted externally.
-Very few development opportunities or career progression within teams. The company appears to be more interested in hiring externally than developing their current team in order to take on more senior positions.
-Benefits are changed without updates.
-Due to the lack of any long term incentives, benefits or bonus schemes there is a culture of not rewarding innovation or hard work.
-Poor communication from the top down - information is circulated on a need to know basis.
-High attrition rates as a result of all of the above.
