Pros

I finally got over my initial bitterness of being 'let go' and decided to post my honest opinion: I used to love working for Littlefish and this was mainly due to amazing, supportive colleagues. Everyone was eager to help and you could always count on a friendly chat and harmless banter. The company was open to new ideas and technology and has a proven record of providing extremely high quality service. The contract wins, especially within Central Government, made you feel like you are on a winning team. Growing company, great future, great brand story, fantastic potential.

Cons

So what went wrong? I reacted really badly to being micromanaged and couldn't stand 'know-it-all' attitude of some members of Senior Management. All my ideas and proactive actions were eventually criticised and frowned upon. For example, I created this Glassdoor page (You're welcome) and management wasn't happy as they possibly anticipated the negative feedback that was coming their way. (What does that tell you abut the management?) I created employee survey and presented the findings to the management. As far as I know they had a meeting about it but the issues were never addressed. They seem like they care, but really they care about margins and performance, not people.(#peoplematter LOL I use to believe in it myself but then realised it's really profit and customer that matter.) Want proof? I pestered management for an annual performance review and when it finally happened I was told I should disregard last year for one reason or another (?!). I received almost no praise for any of my projects but nitpicking there was plenty. From an employee who was championing the company and was proactively driving new ideas, I became miserable, engaged, stressed and my performance was affected. So they got rid of me (Rightly so - did me a favour).

Pros

I learned a lot during my time at Littlefish The location of the smaller office is lovely. The people actually doing the work on the service desk including the Team Leaders (that weren't ever made official.. ) are awesome people to work with.

Cons

I worked in a smaller offshoot office, and it's like being an unloved stepchild. The management wanted as little to do with us as physically possible - they were very rarely present. Local manager was a bully and a generally unpleasant person. Expect very little compassion from this business. General procedure for everything was 'pfft, see how it goes' and 'Just do it' - you are not Nike.
