Giacom Reviews

Politics that prevent almost any collaboration and progress. Changes to status quo and improvements are considered too risky. IT/Ops - the technology and processes are impacted by the years of M&A's. There's no real strategy how to integrate or clean up. Tickets and process over automation and humanity.

Nepotism. Lack of accountability for upper management. Underpaid staff, lack of reviews and salary alignment. Constant re-structures. Lack of long term vision beyond acquisitions. Having been told I had to become a full time employee as there was to be no more contractors only to find several months later there were contractors all over the place was a shock but rebranding and restructuring is a way to get round that. Redundancies got rid of talented staff and killed morale only to then be forced into recruiting when they became understaffed, you guessed it, recruiting people with no skills, no experience and expecting existing staff to train them up in addition to already being overworked. Had reported into around 10 line managers over the last 3 years of my time there, not a single one did anything for my career and when having to go above any to try get pay or career changes these fell on deaf ears, constantly. You might like it here if you are in sales or dealing with customers as they are the only staff with career progression and amazingly get highlighted and treat to breaks away and other company events.
