Pros

- Modern tech stack - Supportive line management for teams - Some really good people within the business supporting teams

Cons

- Too much politics - Lack of clarity for teams to know priorities leading to everything being a priority and overloading teams - No defined strategy or direction from senior management - An exec board that prefers putting energy into town hall "talk shows" rather than show leadership in other areas - Uncooperative and unapproachable HR department - Sales teams over promising to clients

Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We know the company has gone through a lot of change, and while that can bring challenges, it also brings opportunities to refocus on what matters most, delivering real value to our clients and creating a better experience for our teams. We're working to bring more clarity around priorities and to make sure initiatives are aligned with what teams can realistically deliver. Thanks again for your feedback. It’s always helpful to hear from people who’ve been part of the journey. Talent Acquisition @ ESW

Thanks so much for sharing this! Really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that the support from leadership and the team is coming through and that you feel trusted and able to grow in your role; that’s something we really care about maintaining as we scale. Totally fair point on processes evolving too; we’re very much in that build-and-improve phase, so feedback like this helps us keep moving in the right direction. And love the note to management, we’ll pass that on 😊
