Pros

There are no pros to add apart from the fact some people are nice but are all treated unfairly

Cons

Several downsides from micro management, discrimination, bullying and dictatorial management. The company seems to be getting worse . Several have left already with many wanting to leave . The management at the site don’t live by the values of the organisation and only change when senior management are over from the USA visiting. If I didn’t have to pay bills and had another job to go to I would leave in an instant but will be actively looking . Do not be fooled by the marketing tactics . This company used to be good when we had an MD in the UK who cared about everyone at all levels and did a lot for inclusion but nothing has been done since to involve the team in Barnsley. There are no opportunities to grow and bullying is rife .

Pros

Manager is very hands-off and trusts you to get your work done as long as your metrics look good. Overall good work culture - good work/life balance. Low stress work which can be nice if you’re okay with, what’s for the most part, a fairly repetitive/uninspiring variety of work (I personally like this but realize it’s not for everyone). Very friendly co-workers. Plenty of chances to prove yourself & work your way up the ladder if that’s something you care about.

Cons

Heavy focus on questionable metrics, especially in this current era of measuring AI usage. Repetitive/uninspiring work that can start to feel boring if you’re wanting something more interesting

Pros

Work from home, paid for career development trainings/certifications, and depending on your role, flexible hours

Cons

-Management/Senior Leadership teams are very disorganized and often change processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult to get promoted -SHI loves automating everything they can, so a lot of times, work ends up feeling very tedious and repetitive -Day to day work very often includes tedious process approvals from management, slowing down pace of work with no real feedback given during the approval process -Met a lot of people who were great, but met far more who are toxic -Everything feels escalated even if the “issue” is manageable -EXTREMELY micromanaged
