Pros
- Some interesting work - Clever and hardworking colleagues - Good reputation with good products
Cons
- Very poor management and leadership of the company. Very uninspiring and constant feedback is to do more with less. - Changes in remote working policy. - Very chaotic planning and project structure. Communication between departments is very poor. - Lots of processes but not enforced. Little time for learning, training and development due to constant firefighting. - Loud office environment with IT equipment difficult to replace. - Aggressive cost cutting but not addressing the most significant sources of inefficiency. - Lots of different silos that do not communicate effectively. Poor sharing of information and slow decision making. - The IT is the worse I have seen. Very outdated versions of software used. Transition to Google Workspace has been a costly disaster. Internally developed tools are not maintained and obsolete. Configuration management is poor. - Capitalisation of previous work, knowledge capture and lessons learned very inadequate. - High turnover for some projects. - Leaders and managers more focused on their own careers rather than making a broader positive impact. - Chaos in development increases the chances of error and often rework is needed. - Very short sighted management which is understandable given how performance incentives are structured. - Limited opportunities for career progression. Pay and benefits are very average. Promotion and hiring decisions are often questionable. - Management and HR are good at gaslighting employees to not demand a better work environment. - Very demotivating for younger people joining the company who want to make a difference and are passionate about aviation.
