Ignore the 5 star reviews. These were written by the directors. Yes, that is a small 'd'. - Recensione dipendente - Sales presso Intercity Technology

Vantaggi

The directors' cars are lovely to look at. Sometimes it's challenging to 'Oooh' and 'Ahhhh' enthusiastically after walking in to a workplace where only the friends of the CEO can park. I don't mean friends made at work, I literally mean his uni buddies.

Svantaggi

Intercity Telecom used to be run by its owner, a decent hard-working man who made millions through excellent timing, good business sense, taking risks and having a huge dollop of luck too. Unfortunately, as he decided he had made enough money, he put his son in charge and the whole thing is sinking, and sinking fast. The son has no regard for anyone who has been in the business before him and is slowly replacing all managers with 'directors' who are his friends from Uni. Of course they are not really directors, they are puppets with made-up titles that allow them to tell Mummy and Daddy they have become something. They haven't. They have simply accepted a subservient position to the guy at uni with the richest Dad. It is pitiful, and unfortunately, they seem to have no idea that we laugh hysterically at them when they're not around. I mean, tears rolling down our faces at the stupidity, naiivety and immaturity they exhibit. Unfortunately, their incompetence will take many years to be fully realised, as the father had made such a huge fortune before handing over to these kids. Many of the things we are asked to do must be unlawful, and I have no idea how we have not been prosecuted and closed down. If the owner's son was born to a different family, he would likely be serving burgers at Macdonalds, and so he makes a mockery of his position, the company and the customers and workers who are leaving in droves, open-mouthed at this diamond which is being crushed in to dust before their very eyes. A genuine pity, and the son has been born in to such riches, he will never understand the amazing opportunity he was given and will no doubt blame 'the economy' or 'the market' as he and his champagne-swilling uni mates tear the company down blissfully unaware that the cause was entirely them and their obsession with self image.

Vantaggi

The people I worked with were genuinely brilliant. Supportive, skilled, and always willing to help, even when the pressure was high. The technical teams in particular take pride in doing things properly and look after clients as best they can. Day-to-day culture at team level is positive and there is real talent across the business.

Svantaggi

The biggest challenge is the senior leadership mindset. There is a heavy push towards chasing revenue targets, with the constant drive towards hitting big headline numbers taking priority over sensible solutions, technical strategy or long-term client relationships. This created an atmosphere where sales were pushed to chase figures rather than work collaboratively with delivery or focus on what the client actually needed. It often felt as though quality took a back seat to hitting the next financial milestone, which added unnecessary pressure and frustration for teams trying to maintain standards.
