Pros
Open leave policy – Flexible time off with no strict annual leave limits, allowing for a good work-life balance. This benefit keeps people. Autonomy in daily work – Trusted to manage own workload with minimal micromanagement. Relaxed approach to remote working – Flexibility to work from home when needed, depending on team arrangements.
Cons
Limited growth and recognition opportunities – Minimal structured performance reviews and no salary reviews despite positive feedback; career development conversations are infrequent. Repetitive task assignments – Employees are often doing the same types of tasks repeatedly, limiting skill development and career growth, which also hinders the company’s overall growth and improvement. Unfair workload and expectations – The same ethnic minority individuals are repeatedly assigned high-demand projects that require working late hours without additional recognition or compensation. Poor communication and organisation – Lack of clear communication from the top down combined with a top-heavy management structure results in inefficient systems and inconsistent workload distribution, leading to either overload or underutilisation. Low morale, disengaged office culture, and unproductive environment – The workplace atmosphere lacks energy and engagement, and the physical office environment itself is not conducive to productive work.
