Avoid unless you are desperate

Business Outlook

Pros

Handing notice in with a big smile.

Cons

Bullying enabled by HR. Rampant nepotism. HR has been a big problem here for years. They have invited many new employees to wite positive reviews to cover their complete lack of competence. Toxic environment of “yes” people looking to advance their careers, and stepping on you to get there is fair game. The company has Zero pipeline. The number of good people who have left is a scandal. If you start a job here, keep a diary, after a few years you can leave with a golden handshake like so many in the past!

Culture of bullying, HR are the enablers

Sales

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None. The worst culture I've ever experienced

Cons

The entire management team has been brought in by mates hiring mates. This has resulted in a culture of corruption and bullying. If your face fits, you're fine, you'll get looked after/promoted, regardless performance. Other people, however, are constantly being bullied out to make way for a mate of somebody to take their job. HR are the enablers of this, sitting back and watching one person after another get bullied out. In their responses on here, they speak of being open, fair and transparent, this is so untrue. I told HR that I was being bullied and they didn't want to know. They didn't even ask by who. Avoid at all costs!
