Pros
- My colleagues were always amazing. Made some great friends and got through some tough times together - Flexible working and Provided hospital cover are great - Learned a lot from the deep end learning
Cons
-Aggressive cost cutting measures (layoffs, budget reductions, entire teams and critical roles being made redundant) have had a huge cost on ability to deliver work and consequently morale. - Huge staff turnover means we’re always scrambling to stay afloat - Many high level decisions seem misinformed and out of touch with the people on the ground. - Overuse of external consultants in favour of empowering and cultivating internal team and building knowledge. - Frequent ( nearly annual) restructures have a massive hit on productivity, morale and have a flow-on effects of resignations, expertise loss which further compounds the problem. - Short term thinking and ‘Corporate amnesia’ constantly changing direction and priorities. Money is spent on something one year, then more money is spent on rolling it back the next. - Many high level decisions seem illogical and made without explanation
