Incredibly reactionary company that takes on new work faster than they can hire. Your role, team structure, and the type of work you cover will change at whim
Understaffing is a major issue, so expect to be pressured to work after hours and during your holiday and sick leave with no compensation
Favouritism is an issue, and determines how much or little support you get in the company
I would encourage anyone interviewing at this company to get everything that is said or implied during the interview process in writing. The only people who seem to have a good work life balance have legally enforceable boundaries
There is some blatant racism and a lot of micro-aggressive behaviour in the office. They have never had DE&I policy and are currently asking an external company to develop one. Even though they've hired more BAME members of staff, not much is being done about the long term staff members who are known to be problematic but still receive preferential treatment
Bonuses and pay increases are rare or non existent, when I asked a few long term employees how often performance bonuses or raises happen every year they laughed in at how ridiculous my question was
Many people have been stuck in their role for a very long time, and discussions on career progression don't result in tangible plans or support from senior management
They have the toxic environment and culture of many larger companies but without the benefits or financial compensation
