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
