Pros
Canteen People on the ground. Always getting things done and collaborating despite the management.
Cons
Where to start?! Forcing RDD teams in during lockdown 2 whether you can work from home effectively or not. Despite everyone’s hard work this year, they are now making it mandatory to put 10% of your workers in the needs improvement category. Sold as a positive - but workers put in that bracket will receive no bonus! Sure, they will really understand this. How are managers supposed to do this to their teams who have performed over and above despite Covid19 and the shambles around them. Taking registers to ensure we are all present, multiple times a day! The company has lost every single drop of its focus and care for its workforce. We are now numbers and boy are those numbers being reporting on to make sure we turn up for work in a pandemic against government guidelines. HR seem to be powerless to influence the big cheeses. Rumours of more redundancies and outsourcing despite business performing well and at last years levels. Referring to the workforce as “engineers and others”. My colleagues outside of RDD are really enjoying that label. Every day is chaos. Ever changing priorities and knee jerk decisions, more and more work being piled on but with a reducing headcount. All under then false banner of campus culture. The culture is now toxic.
