Zero, I cried every single day
Svantaggi
Not even sure where to start, my first day I already had a sinking feeling and knew I’d made a mistake. There was no set up for inducting new employees and you are instead expected to work it out for yourself but then you are judged for asking questions. Micromanagement is a constant and it’s worrying that the staff don’t find it more bizarre. You’re not allowed to private message anyone about work so if your new you have to ask questions in group chats and they get lost amongst all the other messages. Every morning you have to write your to do list on a shared Google word doc with everyone else and then you’re not allowed to log off until your to do list has been reviewed and you’re okay-ed by the head of the department. If you need to control/micromanage to this level you shouldn’t be running a department. Other colleagues weren’t welcoming in the slightest, and if one of the ones that’s “in” with the head of department doesn’t like you then the rest of the staff will also be off with you for fear of being cast out. I’ve never struggled with mental health problems before I worked here but I found myself crying every day before work and dreading having to turn my laptop on. No praise for good work, but constant picking on mistakes you would expect a new employee with zero induction to make. The fact that all of the reviews on here have the same themes running through them shows that this company won’t change. No diversity, cliquey, horrific management, bullying, no structure, no progression, no respect.
