Pros

On the outside Janes looks like a promising place to work, renowned for what it does best, stellar history and you look at what is a promising opportunity within the Intelligence and OSINT space.

Cons

Unfortunately, once you join and get to know how the business is run you quickly realise that the Leadership team is totally sub par, led by an autocratic bullying CEO devoid of strategic insight and his bunch of sycophantic cronies. A company with so much potential, held back by poor management, desperately poor decision making, lack of proper investment and with no desire to change an incompetent leadership team that has proved they are unable to deliver on the need to change the business that desperately needs refreshing.

Pros

Janes takes a welcoming and deliberate approach to onboarding new employees. This includes a session for new employees to learn the history, values, and culture of the organization to make us stewards of those values. Organizations that can do that create loyal and engaged employees with a stake in the mission. It’s really well done at Janes!

Cons

The series of different engagements could be scheduled more effectively and efficiently.
