Lack of Trust from Managers
Pros
The company has some great and supportive teams at the lower levels. Has good flexible hours and WFH option If preferred.
Cons
Managers exhibit overly controlling and hypercritical behaviour leading to a very micromanagement heavy environment. Lack of autonomy over own work with tasks that I had been completing for years still heavily monitored and critiqued. Praise never given for work. Lower level employees expected to hit 90-100% recoverability increases pressure and results in constantly feel like we're underachieving, and that its impossible to move up the ladder. Many staff seem overworked and burnt out, not helped by the ever-increasing pressure to hit seemingly unreasonable financial targets, resulting in t current work isn’t good enough and leading to very demotivated teams. Pressure to constantly bring in new business results and with continued rate increases clients are rejecting estimates and support. The old culture seems to have completely disappeared and with constantly changing systems everything is becoming overcomplicated. Despite substantial profits there has been very little wage increases and bonuses for lower-level employees, decreasing incentive to remain at the company.
