Pros

Teams and colleagues make the company, there are some amazing people. The benefits were very good, but have become less valuable in recent times

Cons

Senior management appear far more focused on shareholder interests than employee wellbeing. There is little to no meaningful career progression. Pay rises, promotions, and bonuses are extremely rare. The most recent redundancy consultation was handled poorly and felt disorganised and insensitive, with unclear communication, basic administrative errors, and serious data protection failures such as accidentally sharing other employees’ private information. They are currently recruiting for the same roles that people held before being made redundant which is very crass. Overall, a lack of transparency, accountability, and investment in staff development has created an environment where employees feel undervalued and disposable.

Pros

Incredible co-workers who genuinely supported each other doing innovative interesting work.

Cons

Culture has eroded in recent years. Hours are unsustainable for those driving success in the business. Significant talent has been lost and not replaced. Internal folks keep taking on more and stepping into roles previously held by people with decades more experience and more robust staffs. They are setup to fail by a leadership with minimal understanding of large parts of the business. Leadership is toxic, feigning interest in feedback from employees, learning the business, and restructuring for long term growth and health of the business. Instead, egotistical leadership interested in associating their names with shiny digital products or propping up their pet projects continues to burn cash while the core business suffers. Such a classic case of buying a brand and hollowing out what built it.
