Sad to see a good company sinking - Technology Lead Royal London Employee Review

Pros

The people are great - that is, the people who actually do the work. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Like numerous other reviewers on GlassDoor recently, the biggest con (pun intended) is the new Group Technology management. They keep saying they are interested in our views and want our feedback, but this is just lip service. At the recent GTC conference, staff were asking some very good, pointed questions. Most of these were answered dismissively or not at all, with a couple of managers getting quite petulant towards the end because they didn't like being asked these tough but reasonable questions. The culture is being completely eroded and we're all supposed to cheer and clap while it happens. I had intended to stay at Royal London for some time to come, but will be leaving as soon as I find something elsewhere.

I am sorry to read your review and would like to offer support on questions and concerns you have with respect to how our GTC function is moving forward. As you will know we always encourage colleagues to reach out to their People Leader, Senior Leader, GEC member or a member of the People Team to raise concerns or give feedback. If you would prefer to speak to a Senior Leader from a different function I could arrange for an independent Senior Leader to meet with you on a confidential basis to discuss your concerns. If you would like to accept this offer, please contact me by email. Support is also available through our Colleague Representative Forum.
