Pros
Growth in region since new leaders brought in past few years and HR in region has improved over past 2 years since investment to have a team here was made. Rolf has made a big impact and it feels like HR care and listen now. People in junior roles are nice to work with and the atmosphere has improved, although there is still loads to do!
Cons
Leaders allow legacy employees to behave how they want, speaking to people in a rude and disrespectful manner. They have been in the company too long, focusing on all the problems rather than trying to work with others to improve the office. The new leaders and HR cannot change the culture if legacy leaders and US management foster a two faced and unsupportive working style. EMEA Leadership Team members have left which is worrying for the culture going forward. Feels like employees are disposable, no consistent communication on leavers, no exit interviews to find out how people feel. Some of management care, some do not and bad mouth one another in front of junior members of the team. Relationship of Operations management team is toxic and defensive. They do not want to work with other teams and just defend each other even if something is genuinely wrong.
