Vantaggi
- Great team (most have quit now). - Supportive culture from colleagues, not higher management. - Nice office.
Svantaggi
- Workload and Utilisation Lack of Workload Management: When employees have no assigned tasks, there is no provision for training or a system in place to allocate them to other projects (no bench concept). This leads to periods of inactivity and frustration. Inefficient Office Requirements: Being required to come into the office three days a week without any work to do is unproductive and demoralising. Unjust Criticism: Employees are unfairly reprimanded for being seen on non-work-related websites, like YouTube, when they have no tasks or training opportunities. This is counterproductive and creates an unhealthy work environment. Inability to Contribute: There is no structure allowing employees to assist other departments during downtime, leading to wasted potential and disengagement. - Issues with Pay Reviews and Business Practices Unfulfilled Pay Reviews: Although pay reviews are scheduled for November, employees are often told by HR that they have missed the review. This is done by design of the CEO/SLT to avoid giving pay rises. This is mentioned in other reviews of this company. - Inconsistent Work From Home Policies Resistance to Remote Work: The CEO is strongly opposed to remote working, and a hybrid model was only adopted post-COVID because most businesses had already moved to full remote work. Selective Remote Work: Some employees were allowed to work fully remotely, primarily because the required skill sets were not available locally, inconsistent policy application that is again designed to benefit the business when it suits them. Lack of Flexibility: Requests for temporary or situational flexibility in the Work From Home policy were routinely denied, causing massive inconvenience and dissatisfaction. This is all due to the CEOs mindset and Heads of departments not willing to push back on this. - Misaligned Leadership Priorities CEO-Centric Decision Making: Department heads prioritise pleasing the CEO over addressing the real needs of the business and employees, leading to a lack of constructive feedback and necessary pushback. Outdated Leadership Mindset: The CEO's outdated mindset and approach to business management are causing significant harm to the company's growth and overall success.
