Pros

- rare opportunity to experience how badly a business can be run

Cons

- HR does not take grievances seriously and knowingly takes no action to safeguard staff - extreme KPI fixation: it is very strongly suggest that staff should only rate their employee experience as high to avoid having their SLTs bonuses impacted - directors pushed to set up ‘ghost’ meetings with clients to satisfy pointless metrics - extreme top-down hierarchy and punishment culture. - employees told off for raising genuine concerns in public forums - employees told to ‘hunt their own food’ when on the bench while a clock counts down towards their termination - archaic internal platforms that makes doing your job insufferable - multiple platforms to raise tickets, tickets passed from department to departement - no ability to speak to a real person to resolve administrative issues - extremely poor pay and compensation framework which is claimed to be aligned to market - little to no progresion opportunities - unable to challenge leadership or ask simple questions without fear of retaliation - directors are overloaded with responsibilities, compounded by poor internal systems, constant metric-chasing, having to deliver on client to a high percentage of your time, managing responsibilities for far too many people people, and business development quotas - feedback to management brushed off and dismissed - role frameworks very obviously written by AI - excessive, sickly toxic positivity projected by SLT

Pros

Historically had a strong foundation under previous management structures.

Cons

Management: Since the shift from Canadian to offshore management styles, the corporate culture has suffered. Hiring Ethics: Extremely concerning reports of bribery and bias within the recruitment process. They appear to tolerate "fake" candidates to keep salary costs low. Recruiting more offshore people and removing local candidates. Compensation: Unwilling to meet standard market rates for experienced roles; they consistently filter for the lowest bidder rather than quality. Communication: Highly unprofessional; no follow-up provided after time-intensive interview loops.

Pros

Decent benefits including good pension contributions (sell the shares quickly though as they’re plummeting in value)

Cons

You’re expected to fit into a box in the “career framework”, and apply to a panel to be promoted from one level to the next. It is like a parody of corporate culture. They aim to pay average compensation, so consistent good performance is rewarded by reduced pay rises. This results in most employees being average or worse. Internal systems and processes are stuck in the ‘80s. This makes basic tasks, e.g. filling in your timesheet, a nightmare. No support when you are “in between assignments”. It’s up to you to apply for your next role, or wait eight weeks to be made redundant. The sensible thing to do is take this time to apply elsewhere.
