Pros
- Always busy, varied work, plenty of opportunities to learn - Reasonable progression - Good holiday allowance (if you can take it)
Cons
- Zero transparency on bonus scheme, has become markedly worse and scaled back whilst I've been at OH - Massive gossip culture - Other once good perks scaled back, such as flexi-time, perks offering has become much lower as the business has grown - Strong performers will be given double or triple a reasonable workload, whilst weaker performers will get away with doing much less - Expect a very compromised work-life balance, there is none! - Very limited support from the senior team, and is often poor support - Very stretched resourcing, lean management style means less support across the board for projects - Training has only been introduced in the last year or so, and is still very poor quality, they rely on hiring smarter people lower down who will figure things out themselves - The amount of overtime you'll do to get promoted is not worth it, they'll get an extra month or two of work from you over the course of a year and not give anything in return - You'll get taken for granted if you're there too long - Since the Amulet take over, finances have been solely front of mind and with the CEO leadership change you can expect resource to get leaner and even more people starting leave as they get burnt out and taken for granted
