We make no apologies for being an action oriented business that’s about getting results for our clients. At interview, we’re upfront and honest that our culture is about ‘doing’ it, not just talking about doing it. If you’re someone who likes lots of long meetings, decision making by committee and talking about what’s wrong with the office equipment, we accept that you’re probably not going to enjoy working here. We don’t have layers of red tape and bureaucracy; we try to hire people who want a role they can make their own and we empower them to do that right from day 1. Micro-management is usually only a necessity when a person has oversold their skills and clearly isn’t up to the task of leading an effective team within our culture. Rather than leaving them to flail, other Managers will step in.
We also take pride in our policy that we don’t discourage you from having your own freelance interests outside of work time and even offer part time hours to help our team achieve whatever balance they are looking for. However, if it’s clear you have no real passion for us and are only interested in promoting yourself, we’ll be frank: this wont be the right company for you.
The place is poorly managed, bullying is second nature from the top down and nobody has a clue what they are actually supposed to do or how. The systems are outdated and how this place still exists is beyond me. Promises are made and never kept. You tell your clients all these things about attracting the best talent and how hard it is to find so retention is important and then you treat your own staff like garbage. You really should be ashamed of yourselves. Don't take advice from these guys, they are not practicing what they preach.
