Career opportunities: Firstly, lol. I can imagine that in its better days, open health had a more consistent and reliable promotion process in place. Since Astorg acquired OH, this process has been swiftly dumped into a bin. What has resulted from this is you have very hardworking colleagues not being recognised for all their work and excessive hours of overtime. Is it any wonder that people are leaving en masse? Instances of people being promised promotions and then either not seeing these promotions happen or having them pushed back by months with zero communication. It is upsetting and disrespectful. In addition to this, when some promotions have finally happened, the pay rises are poor and unequal. There are MWs earning less than AMWs, AMs on less than SAEs, etc. If you think people don't talk about this stuff, you are mistaken. No wonder you have an awful pay gap, and you claim to be 'doing something to address this' but this is clearly completely untrue.
Compensation and benefits: who knows? Really though who does know because we're all confused about the health scheme, the office spaces, the future of annual bonuses, pay reviews etc etc etc.
Culture and values: the only culture and values that the senior management team have are to expect their subordinates to continue to work obscene hours for unequal pay and unknown future of their roles.
Diversity and inclusion: lolololol. Cliquey. There seems to be a fear of people who might bring any sort of diversity (race, disability, religion, social class etc) to Open health. Senior management: I think it's clear what i think about the SMT. They don't have the best interests of their team at heart, despite what they may have deluded themselves into thinking, and despite what toxic bs comes out of their mouths. There have also been numerous cases of BULLYING, these have been brushed under the carpet though. Wonderful.
Work/life balance: ha ha ha ha ha ha. If you work for OH as a junior team member, you will not have a healthy work/life balance. This company is all about money money money and they do not care about whether this means their staff are worked to the point of ill health. Also there is no overtime pay and there is no TOIL for any overtime worked on weekdays, so if you think you may be recompensated in some way for neglecting your social life/family life/general wellbeing, this is not the case.
Hopefully this has shed a bit of light on anyone who is considering starting or shifting their career to this agency (don't.). There are many other agencies where you will be treated better.
