Pros

Good work-life balance, colleagues are pleasant.

Cons

Staff retention has not been good since Tisski was acquired by Node4. Operational structures have changed and there has been no obvious sense of a comms plan being drawn up to ensure employees are appropriately kept up to date on these changes and what impacts this has on their BAU roles. It is not clear how escalations are appropriately managed and when chasing for updates on questions which have had to go up the management chain, agreement on who is best to respond gets passed around like a hot potato and therefore responses are not provided in a timely manner. Line managers have also not been given ability to appropriately support their reports, especially regarding development, pay rises to reflect positive appraisal reviews and ambitions to progress within the company.

Pros

This company used to be a small, people-focused organization, and I truly enjoyed working there during that time. There was a genuine sense of care for employees, and it felt like everyone mattered. It was a supportive environment where collaboration and respect were part of the culture. I have some great memories from those days and appreciated being part of a team that felt more like a community.

Cons

However, since being acquired by another company, the culture has changed significantly and poor management in general and communication are awful. It’s now run more like a large corporation, and unfortunately, it feels like employees have become just numbers on a spreadsheet. The personal touch and care that once made it a great place to work have been lost. I guess that is the downside of going big.

Pros

Being able to work from home

Cons

Poor teams leaders. Poor onboarding of new customers. Severe lack of documentation & system designs. Poor handovers from projects to support teams. Inadequate access to customers systems. No sharing of knowledge. More focused on certificates than real experience. I could go on. Hands down the worst company I've worked for in years.
