Pros

Interesting and unique business to gain entry to, feels like a club. Coworkers were down-to-earth despite much-ado-about-nothing-vibe type of work and requests. Work/life balance was decent. Good benefits.

Cons

No guidance from manager, only criticisms. No job security --- I witnessed whole departments being laid off, another team (which was outsourced) being "rebadged" to save on costs Manipulative, unproductive and unhelpful feedback from higher ups about behavior during meetings (I was on my laptop during hour long meetings doing work I had to finish and it was construed as being rude, whilst many other people were also on their laptops and were seemingly not reprimanded). Day-to-day work runs on email requests, which is not ideal in a 21st century corporation. No sense of workload organization. You have to be your own project manager. Many of the interfaces the company use routinely do not function, contain bugs and are needlessly hard to navigate. Company throws money at quick solutions and end up with faulty systems that, in the long run, hold them back from innovation

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are really pleased to hear that you worked alongside nice colleagues, you received good benefits and you had a good work/life balance. Christie’s has recently spent a substantial amount of money on new IT Systems. These systems are constantly being tweaked to meet our unique demands and this will be an on-going process that the business is always open to feedback on. COVID has had an impact on the way the world works globally, sadly many organisations had redundancies during this time. With hybrid working practices we are now able to work more flexibly and often this includes more email requests. We are sorry to hear that you experienced challenges within your team, our regional HR Teams are always here to support our employees, we encourage employees to reach out with any queries they may have.
