Pros

I don't recall any pros for this company. I can say that you can find nice people working there too, probably new people, but they usually don't last because the work environment. And you will find nice people in every work place anyway.

Cons

Inefficient policies, processes and work methodology. They force to use methodologies and follow processes that not add any value. No work/life balance. People, particularly managers, are very rude and disrespectful with each others and with their team members.

Pros

The only positive comment that can made is that the compensation level has been good given the limited amount of challenging work that has been required.

Cons

There are so many issues that exist at this organization (as well as the other 'partner' organizations within the "Group"). The combination of arrogance and dysfunction results in an operating model that produces extremely poor results that leave business partners with substandard solutions. There is a total lack of meaningful planning and all activities are executed in 'fire drill' mode.

Pros

If you are lucky you can have the chance to travel

Cons

HR lies about promotion and salary In 5+yrs I manage to "promote" from Junior programmer to Senior programmer No salary increase in 5+yrs Management is very bad, they rely on consultants (mainly Accenture) with no experience to manage projects and people that have the knowledge are treated very badly. Teams are completely burnout, resulting on people don't wanting to work. If there is a challenge they just fight to not do it and try other team to address the issue. There is no sharing of information across teams.

Thank you for giving your time to give us feedback. We are working hard in the UK to improve our employee experience, for example we are driving our permanent recruitment now instead of relying on contractors so heavily. I am not sure what happened in your circumstance in relation to your salary increase but I do know that every year there is always a salary review. The only time we would not give someone an increase would be if they were a poor performer or if they were already paid above our salary guides which are market data driven and regularly reviewed. We know that our promotion process needs to be more dynamic and for the past two years have had a structured process in place for managers to put forward their nominations and they can also do this on a case by case basis if the demand is there. We have our Simple, Personal and Fair behaviours that we are encouraging everyone to live by and there are many avenues for people to speak out if they think they are being treated unfairly.
