Pros
The chairman appears to be a good businessman acquiring other businesses and they do seem really good at expanding the company to make themselves bigger. Unfortunately, this is really where the pros stop.
Cons
- The environment of the office is very... temperamental. - The company is very focused on the sales side of the business, which I understand as they need to grow and make money, but every other team feels completely abandoned. - No effort was made, at the time, to hire more staff as the company expanded - as the company expands, so do the teams, that was something that appeared completely lost. - Micro-managing, this wasn't always an issue but something that eventually appeared and it brought down the morale of the team. - Clear desk policy, personally this wasn't something I was keen on, is there something wrong with wanting to put pictures of family on your desk? - The company were very quick to fire people they didn't like, this wasn't experienced during my time but this was something I heard from multiple people. - The atmosphere in the office on most days wasn't good, people were trying to work and have a good time while doing it but you always felt like management were "making notes" of this. - There was no trust in any of the staff, this was something you could feel in the office every day, personally I never felt like my job was safe there.
