Director level Management not great - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso McBains

Some really nice & talented people work at McBains. Clive Dowcra is very visible and tries to foster a spirit of openess and team work. Social and volunteer opportunities are present Good opportunities for graduates. Hybrid working. Free tea & coffee Relaxed dress in office Variety of projects is good

High turnover of staff seen in last 12 months. Unprofessional management practices including the quite obvious intention to 'force' people out if their face doesn't fit. Very little confidence that concerns over some management styles or practices would be addressed appropriately. HR very much in the background and not visible. Poor on boarding with no effort made to train new staff or provide an overview of company practice or project background. Disparity in treatment of people within teams. Under resourced in some disciplines creating unduly heavy workload. A shame that the culture promoted is not uniform across all the offices. Trust is missing between staff and senior management and in some cases between disciplines.

Some nice people work here

Toxic/weak senior management, incompetent HR department. Turning blind eye to important issues. Focussing on non-issues.
