Great Colleagues, Poor Leadership - Anonymous employee Code Institute Employee Review

Remote work is the main perk, If you’re not in the firing line, your basically left alone, often forgotten about. Communication is poor and updates are rare. People regularly leave and the first you hear of it is a badly worded automated email or months later through office gossip. It’s become a bit of a running joke, but its not funny, as its hard to feel secure when good people just quietly disappear.

Over the past 18 months it’s felt like leadership hasn’t really had a clear plan. There doesn’t seem to be much proper investment in a long term strategy either. That lack of direction and support is starting to show, both in staff morale and in the experience learners are getting. It’s hard to do your job well when you’re working without clarity, resources or real engagement from the top. Every company goes through tough patches. That’s normal. What matters is how leadership handles it and how they treat their people during it. Right now it feels like a lot of decisions are about protecting earlier strategic mistakes rather than owning them and fixing things properly. This environment takes its toll on your mental health and makes it difficult to feel confident about where things are heading.

Absolutely none, waste of time

Absolute shambles of a company. Now to see they are recruiting for exact jobs they made over 200 redundant of less than 2 months ago is abysmal. That was the 2nd redundancy act within 6 months. The whole company is going down the pan. Courses are all out of date, asking people to pay £7k for a course you can learn how to do for free online. Shoddy equipment, staff are lazy, including marketing who show you how to do something when you ask so you don’t ask them to do their job in the future, you get on with it yourself. Management are a load of panzies and the CEO cares about nothing more than his ego. Being forced into a new job role that lands you into redundancy, cause they sent you onto the side of the business that was a sinking ship, saved by the skin of my teeth but commission taken away, only to be up for redundancy again 6 months later. Working for peanuts whilst working your rear end off. You have to tell students as part of your job that AI isn’t going to take over yet they want to automate everything to get rid of employees, save money and have a bunch of monkeys running the place. Do yourself a favour and don’t bother, I wish I never did.
