Security Watchdog Reviews

No proper leadership from the MD down. Decisions are normally made in a vacuum and not explained properly to employees. Targets are often unachievable or not properly thought through, which leads to a culture of distrust and blame. If you fall short there is the constant threat of a PIP hanging over you, which is suppose to be a personal improvement plan, but it is rather just a way for management to get rid of you. Promotions are almost nonexistent and when they do occur it is not based on merit, but rather on how well you get on with management. Pay is terrible. Managers take credit when things go well, but when they don't they try to pin it on their employees. The MD, Susie Thompson is useless. She thinks she can fix everything by being positive all the time and giving people false promises - it's truly cringeworthy.

Senior management is entirely there by virtue of their family connections or friendship. The MD is the founders daughter, and another director is the son of the founder - both woefully lacking any touch with the reality of how the business actually operates day to day and are easily beguiled by "new ideas" being good ideas. They won't hesitate to make you redundant - this is not part of the current wave of redundancy. They have a consistent track record of what is essentially constructive redundancy. You have very little chance of moving up in the business. The pay is awful.
