Svantaggi
• The company operates more like a social club or ideological collective than a focused engineering consultancy. Core principles such as merit, efficiency, and technical effectiveness often take a back seat in employee evaluation. • Hiring, assessment, and promotion decisions appear to prioritize social and political frameworks—such as EDI, ESG, Net Zero, and other institutional values—over demonstrable skills, experience, and actual contribution to project outcomes. • The emphasis on wellbeing, while important in moderation, has created an environment where accountability is diluted. Employees are rarely held responsible for their deliverables unless financial constraints demand it. This, combined with a cohort of disengaged long-timers who have become part of the "furniture," fosters a culture of deferred responsibility. • Resource utilization is suboptimal. Recruitment often stems not from operational necessity but from mismanagement of existing personnel and capabilities. • Symbolic gestures and identity politics have overtaken professional focus. There is more concern over pronouns in email signatures and the display of rainbow-themed accessories than on meeting deadlines or delivering quality work. In one instance, an employee—whose gender identity has changed—attends the office sporadically and frequently invokes personal circumstances to justify extended leave, while others shoulder the workload without similar allowances. • Office spaces are adorned with platitudes like “We are independent thinkers,” which ring hollow. True independence would include the freedom to question or reject imposed social narratives, yet such dissent is culturally discouraged. • Leadership roles, particularly in middle and senior management, are disproportionately filled by individuals who prioritize emotional comfort and social engagement over operational performance. Productivity, efficiency, and role-specific effectiveness are often secondary concerns. • The organization claims to uphold PRIDE values, including integrity. However, these claims are undermined by instances such as the appointment of the local chamber of commerce chief executive’s spouse to a role for which he was clearly unqualified. Such decisions reflect a pattern of behavior inconsistent with the stated values
