Vantaggi
A company with a great reputation, product and growth
Svantaggi
Bad Management of staff – Especially in the SMB team You will be promised progression, and that if you have any ideas on how to improve a growing company to please bring suggestions to your weekly 1-2-1 meeting / interrogation. The reality is that you will be stuck in whatever role they give you. Some roles even within the same team will favour some and hugely disadvantage others. While the staff that are being recruited are mostly great and intelligent people, the atmosphere that is created by the managers and middle managers, creates fear among staff and even backstabbing and misdirection by the more senior staff in order to make sure that they stay ahead of new starters. Making any suggestions of improvement and equality are taken as a challenge to set systems and structures already in place that are obviously in need of changing as the company and teams grow. Main topics of discussions ‘at the watercooler’ are mainly about how unhappy people are and when they will be leaving. I feel so sorry for those that have battled against all of this in hope of an internal promotion, only to find that they will recruit someone external (Usually form Yahoo) to come in and cause more disruption and create more systems that that will obviously fail. The best part is, that when all of these doomed systems fail, they use a member of their staff / teams as scapegoat to cover up their own shortcomings. The worst experience of my career, and a waste of a year.
