Pros

System C is an excellent workplace! In my department, I feel both challenged and supported, treated like a true professional. I appreciate the open atmosphere where hard conversations can happen safely. Over the past year, I’ve been genuinely impressed by the transformation of our marketing team. Each member has embraced new roles and processes with enthusiasm and dedication, creating a vibrant and positive environment. Our adaptability has enabled us to navigate challenges and seize opportunities, enhancing our strategies while fostering a culture of respect and collaboration. I am proud of our achievements and excited for what the future holds. Here’s to another year of success and growth! The offices are wonderful, featuring inviting atmospheres in the heart of vibrant city centres. I truly appreciate the flexible working arrangements, especially as I balance the demands of managing a toddler!

Cons

As the business continues to grow, there are some challenges as we work to find our natural rhythm. We're all adapting to new systems and procedures, however this is a positive evolution that we’re experiencing together. While there is significant change and a constant busy vibe, I appreciate the variety and challenges. There's always something new to learn and opportunities for improvement, and I find that a good challenging environment to work in!

Pros

The only pro is the remote / hybrid working.

Cons

I could write a lot on this, but the two biggest challenges within the company are: 1. Disorganized processes and slow decision making. Operations felt chaotic, more like the downside of a start-up than the upside. Decisions moved slowly, inefficiencies were everywhere and few people seemed empowered or accountable to fix them. The technology, infrastructure, and ways of working often felt outdated and unnecessarily manual. 2. A People team lacking credibility and capability. From leadership down, the People function appeared out of depth. Initiatives such as career frameworks and progression tools being introduced felt more like surface level exercises than meaningful strategies. Despite the talk of being “people focused,” the execution of any initiatives lacked clarity, consistency and genuine understanding of what employees actually need.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m pleased our remote / hybrid working suited you, but I’m sorry that other aspects of your time did not meet your expectations. We recognise that some of our processes and tools have been too manual and slow. As we integrate our group of companies into one organisation, we’re investing in clearer processes, better systems and sharper ownership so decisions move faster. You’ve also raised concerns about our People team and career development. Our career frameworks are currently in the design and build phase to create greater transparency, with a communicated deadline of the end of our financial year. Alongside this, we’ve introduced Development Planning, Squiggly Careers training and toolkits, and a mentoring programme to support colleagues with their career development. We appreciate your honesty and will use this feedback as we continue to improve. Tanya
