Pros

Some great people Company wants to change

Cons

The culture can be good or bad depending on who your manager is. In my experience, bullying is rife at Estio and HR are doing nothing about it. Anyone looking to join, be mindful of this. Bullying continues to exist in 2 teams and now their behaviour has been learnt by people in their teams as they do it. Yet no consequences or demotions for the managers only reprimands for team members who learnt this behaviour. I am currently being bullied. I am too scared to tell my manager or HR as they are tight with the ceo and the way its being done is very sneaky. But it is being done and its definitely bullying. Who do I go to?why am I still here? Because I like my job, I am good at it and have bills to pay so can't just get up and leave. There are others like me who have reported it but the root of the problem has never been dealt with and left to get away with it and carry on as they are protected by the ceo as she been here since Estio started and anyone close with the ceo is untouchable. Vile language used openly around other people and bad attitude towards other teams and SMs. have anxiety over this but like I said I can't just leave. I can't even create a fake email account and report it as I'm scared they will track me. People at Estio reading this and thinking I'm lying. Well it's not happening to you so you haven't witnessed and experienced it but it is true. I don't even have to name names as those at Estio probably can guess at who I am referring. Will the bullying stop? Probably not. Will I have to find a way through it or leave? Probably Yes.

Pros

There are some amazing staff here.

Cons

For the last 8 months I have been one of the positive ones telling people that the restructures and changes will be for the better and a general promoter of the ceo, SMT and "one big team". I was so wrong. The new training and support structure is not working with trainers leaving and morale all over being low. How can one SMT have 3 direct reports and another over 20...how is that supportive and fair? And treating people with respect...the bullying culture and speaking to hard working people with disrespect and in a bullying nature still exists. The facade only work for so long and old habits have returned.  And then the CEO himself. The act of being a nice person and creating a new culture with solid values lasted for a limited period and seems like an act to get staff on side to paint the pretty picture to external stakeholders. It was easy to put on the act during lockdown but now staff are going back to the office, everyone can see how the old dog has gone back to his old tricks, accompanied by his other old dog. It's not OK to treat hardworking staff the way he does because he is the CEO and this leopard has not changed his spots. HR and the board need to take a hard look at old habits and behaviour returning as its already started. The rebranding and online courses we undergo have done nothing to change the awful culture and uncertainty some staff feel in their roles.
