Too much focus by management on procedures and numbers especially sales calls/visits, as opposed to actual sales results and satisfied customers. The worst issue of late: Crucial people to the organisation being made redundant with little notice, leading to many resignations after that. Management then either decides not to replace them, or is taking a really long time to do so. This led to many employees working unpaid overtime more than ever before, then feeling burnt-out before finally leaving upon receiving better job offers at competitors.

For some, the cultural intensity can verge on insularity, with a few observers informally comparing it to a "true believer" environment. Company events and traditions are frequent and lively, but may feel performative rather than inclusive to those who have not spent their entire careers with the company. Within the company there is a clear ambition to align with modern tech industry standards. But the company's foundations in industrial manufacturing continue to strongly influence its culture and operations. This heritage provides stability, but also limits the speed and flexibility associated with true technology-driven organizations. Overall, while the workplace appears friendly and committed on the surface, prospective employees should take time to evaluate whether the culture’s strong internal focus and industrial paced product development supports their long-term career growth.
