Pros

Flexible working policy - although tightening up

Cons

A failing company. Owned by a private equity (ironically unsustainable and unethical) private equity company - Ares. This has led numerous redundancies in recent weeks, while simultaneously acquiring companies with no infrastructure in place. Acquired companies are integrated badly and a very large amount of the senior leadership of them have ended up being made redundant/forced out. Whole offices being shut down. So many employees are now frantically looking for other jobs so they can escape the sinking ship. SLR is not true to its 'values' Problems with diversity, pay, its own environmental/social profile.

Pros

On the ground floor there are really good people who are supportive of one another and it does feel like family There is opportunity to grow if you are ambitious and willing put yourself out there - employees often switch groups, relocate or get to work on projects in other parts of the globe Very flexible - many employees are fully remote

Cons

Uneven compensation structure between groups and within groups Inconsistent procedures/ collaboration between global regions Business growing too big too fast; poor acquisition onboarding Senior personnel from legacy companies not willing to adapt and change (I.e. sell to new clients/sectors, adopt new processes/procedures that are more scalable, etc) At times dysfunctional - employees and leadership on different waves lengths, poor communication of vision, competing priorities or goals Too much time spent creating add-on software to automate Finance, HR, Project Management rather than improving preexisting technology
