Pros

Colleagues Flexibility When I joined this company we were know as “CableCom” we all worked to grow to where we are now. Most people pitch in when there’s an issue and helps each other out to the best of their ability. This really was a lovely place to work

Cons

I have seen many directors come and go and a lot of changes happening, at the moment we are going through a nasty time whereby newish management and HR seem to get rid of anyone who cares for the business and has been there since the start. “Fresh eyes” is the term we hear more than often. And a lot of people fee pushed out HR procedure is not official and often do as they please. Our new manager has had so many complaints but it’s overlooked So many people leaving who have made a difference to the business and who all cared so much but they are being forced out Budget constraints and a high turnover CEO of the group seems to have taken a back seat Everyone resigned from the people forum

Pros

The culture and atmosphere at Glide, make it a great place to work. Glide make an effort to ensure staff are engaged and motivated by planning office activities each month and annual away days. Each member of staff supports each other and encourages each others progression, which can be rare in most work places. There is a solid development programme which allows employees to progress in their career, each person is also supported with their person endeavours too. Glide is a real unique place to work.

Cons

Challenging at times, however the support is always there.

Pros

Colleagues are friendly Flexibility Free fruit Great place to work in the start, nasty place to be in the end

Cons

Higher management seem to have taken a back seat and allowing decisions to be made bringing morale down, HR procedures are not official here and they will do what they like.
