Process obsessed and uninspiring

Pros

Remote working and it's a great cause

Cons

Terrible culture. Obsessed with processes, at the expense of decent outcomes on important projects. Leadership is fear-driven and bullying. Zero psychological safety. People say everything is fine to management but are miserable. Thinks got really bad during pandemic. Pay is bad too.

Pros

Great colleagues, lots of experience and huge potential. The overall aspirations of the company are positive.

Cons

Bullying from above. Staff are frightened to speak up and out. There's a clique at the top of the organisation and some colleagues don't pull their weight.

Uninspiring, controlling and fearful

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

Really special colleagues who are knowledgeable and hard working; colleagues are, on the whole, very supportive of each other.

Cons

There's a high level of control and fearfulness, and a low level of transparency at the top of the organization. Periodic performance reviews promise change but rarely deliver. Decisions seem frequently to be made by fear, behind closed doors and staff are disenfranchized. The CEO has the ability to be inspiring but whether due to insecurity or not, has the ability to humiliate people and can act out of defensiveness. Due to the size of the organization there’s very little opportunity for much career progression.
