Old fashioned and old boys club

Principal consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of your colleagues are really good, inspirational people with a good sense of humour. Making an attempt to embed innovation into the company.

Cons

People in management have no management experience, wrong people running the show. The CEO and lieutenants have no vision other than to say the right things at the next quarterly shareholder update. Confused strategy about whether to concentrate on UK or go harder on international work. Old fashioned mentality, not agile, not entrepreneurial, not changing with the times, poor salary and benefits, no bonus for most staff this year, older male dominated, not many non-white people. I could go on...

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large number of opportunities to move around the business, most areas take an interest in individual development and encourage professional memberships

Cons

Inter-business collaboration very difficult since every area wants to meet own local targets. Business very risk averse, with processes to match which stifles innovation, despite what is generally claimed.
