Vantaggi

Good central office location in london

Svantaggi

Clique at top line their pockets while lower level staff toil endlessly. Staff expected to work on Christmas day as a norm. Board unable to create and stick to long term strategic goals. Many short term initiatives sway the company from one direction to another, are not seen through and are their cost not understood. Products are old, patched on top off and are dangerous for clients to get on board.

Thank you for your review. It is always good to get feedback even when it is tough to read or hear. Whilst all our employees do work tremendously hard for us at Fourth and demonstrate commitment which is second to none, this should never be to the detriment of work-life balance. Our management team are extremely passionate about our people and equally, are always looking for ways to improve on our market leading product suite. An example of this is our brand new cutting edge labour productivity technology which sits inside our Workforce Management solution. This relentless pursuit of excellence will only help us become a better organisation.

Vantaggi

Very few pros come to mind, there were some great people on the individual contributor level I worked with across multiple teams however many left or are on their way out.

Svantaggi

This is a highly toxic and disorganized work environment. Leadership’s lack of knowledge, direction, and experience is apparent. When I started, leadership was disengaged and disconnected to everything. I noticed there was a sudden and obvious change in leadership’s approach where “urgent” asks from above were being requested with little to no context. Unrealistic and changing expectations started being communicated as the norm. This caused confusion, chaos, and burn out, resulting in extremely low morale across teams. Concerns and feedback were either ignored or people were penalized/suddenly terminated for speaking up. Lastly, it doesn’t go unsaid there is no work life balance or professional boundaries here. This is a work environment that sets people up for failure and can have a serious impact on overall well-being.
