Pros

-Remote & flexible working (though this is the new standard post-COVID) -Friendly and casual environment -Low stress environment -Fairly easy to perform role without pushing oneself

Cons

-Non-competitive wage -MD does not recognise key players, resulting in top tier candidates leaving and being replaced with below par individuals (leading to further growth stagnation for the business) --> witnessed a key individual in the senior management team be pushed to breaking point with stress, not supported the entire time --> individual was then replaced with an entire team which could not hit the same performance levels -MD out of touch with day to day requirements of running the company -Slow paced working environment leading to even slower pace of "development" -Development put in "" due to the fact that development projects are simply delegated admin tasks rather than stretch projects -Key decisions made without Senior Managers being informed. Dry admin tasks robustly discussed with senior managers to give sense of involvement without being given access to behind the scenes -Personally felt like "can-do" attitude was crushed out of me day-by-day --> led to a loss of confidence and less drive --> more likely to accept faux development

Thank you for your feedback. We have recognized that the previous development approach was inconsistent which did lead to some delegation of admin tasks. The competency based framework that is being put in place focuses on addressing this and will better empower individuals which in turn supports our current and future growth.

Pros

Some very talented people work there.

Cons

Often badly led from the top. In the 3 years I was there I saw talented people passed up for promotion due to being indispensable. I saw people doing jobs they seemed to be totally unsuited for.
