Pros
- At lower level, lovely, supportive colleagues - Good HR policies and procedures - Good, supportive line managers - lovely office in central Oxford - good internal job opportunities
Cons
- frequent (basically yearly) ‘reorganisations’ , read lay offs, make for a tense working environment - who’s next? - senior management will make huge changes, ignore staff opinions of said changes, and leave staff to pick up the pieces of the inevitable mess - lots of outsourcing to companies abroad, leaving essentially a skeleton crew of overworked middle managers - high workloads, stressed staff - you are made to work with constantly underperforming suppliers and have to embarrassingly front up to clients and stakeholders as to why things go wrong - disingenuous senior leadership team who talk only in corporate jargon and refuse to listen to staff - shocking communication - staff morale is rock bottom
