Pros

Good company bonus for managers

Cons

Employees are treated as numbers, with very little engagement from senior management. There is a noticeable lack of trust with upper management, evidenced by the excessive number of approvals required for even simple tasks requested by the CEO, suggesting a controlling leadership style. Management is ineffective, providing little strategic direction, and there is a constant focus on mergers and acquisitions and frequent business churn. Multiple rounds of redundancies are carried out, often poorly managed and with little regard for employees' well-being. The overall working environment feels uncomfortable and uneasy. Work-life balance is unacceptable, with unrealistic expectations for employees. The emphasis on "collaborative working" often translates into micromanagement, with employees simply expected to be present without meaningful contribution. Career growth opportunities are virtually nonexistent. Compensation is subpar when compared to industry standards. Overall, I would not recommend this company to anyone. Employees are regularly made redundant, even high performers, for unclear reasons. The work atmosphere is tense, with frequent corporate backstabbing and power struggles. Upper management lacks technical expertise, and most of the best talent has already left.
