Cons
If you are not a manager in Finance, your 10% incentive compensation is much lower than what it used to be A lot of people work one or two days from home, but some senior management don't like it It is a British company and they are in charge, US Finance plays a support role and mostly just say "yes" and follow 50%+ turnover in the finance function in Waltham HQ during 2016/2017 and a lot of good people left finance to join other parts of the company, to keep higher bonus pay and better title Some directors in Finance are just managers and many employees talk behind their backs and complain about them, many of these directors just give orders and don't know how to do their job Low morale at work Not many learning opportunities and management don't follow best practices, but they always claim to Management can not listen to suggestions, they don't seek ideas/opinions different than what they know/are comfortable with, and more than 50% of the employees company wide don't feel safe to talk and this has been a long term issue They don't promote from within, and many managers and directors have been hired from outside during the past 12 months, likely with lower pay to reduce overall costs, and they don't know Utility Finance and they pretend they do; therefore they can not teach, don't know how to teach, and they are just surviving too Management wants to paint a picture of successful changes
