Network Rail reviews

Can be quite intense in terms of workload, sometimes frustrating in that several factors are out of your control.

No probations period for new starter, long notice periods so lazy people are there to stay Old guards holding firm to senior roles, set in their ways and very hierarchical Cronyism and favouritism is wide spread, fake recruitment process Fixated with job banding, treatment based on rank in company not knowledge High salary differences between employees in the same role Constant reorganisations ending up as team renaming - with the same people just moving around to continue empire building Performance review results forced to reflect high performing organisation 'curve' Underperformance ignored, no accountability as managers focusing on politics and priority always on yet more reporting HR team ineffective, no visibility in the business and stuck in long-winded systems and processes that takes too long to get results Access to training depends on managers discretions not based on needs of business / role
