Great culture with opportunities for growth and innovation - Recensione dipendente - Group Financial Controller presso SysGroup (UK)

Genuinely cannot think of any.

Sold a dream in the interview process. I've never worked for a company this dysfunctional. No strategy, no alignment, no culture, Toxic! The chairman is running the sales team, thinks he's the Wolf of Wall Street, but couldn't sell ice to an Eskimo. It's amazing what happens when you've got money! If he doesn't like you, you've got a hex on you. I would avoid this place at all costs.

A few genuinely talented and hardworking colleagues doing their best despite the environment. Some opportunities to take on responsibility, though mostly due to lack of structure or direction rather than intentional development. Remote-first working.

Leadership is inexperienced and inconsistent, resulting in unclear priorities and frequent changes in direction. None of them have real-world experience of running an MSP, They've had 3 CRO/COO's in 2025 so far. Decisions are often made reactively without proper planning or understanding of the long-term impact. Feedback and professional expertise are routinely ignored in favour of short-term fixes or personal preferences. There’s little to no investment in staff development or clear career progression. The culture feels uncertain and demotivating - high turnover is common as good people quickly realise the issues and leave. Hiring a lot of keen-but-green staff in key positions, some even at director level.
