A joke.

Pros

Higher than industry average gender-employment ratio. Fully remote working model; extra points for work-life balance and reducing carbon footprint. There are some kind, talented, and very dedicated colleagues across teams; genuinely great people doing their best under pressure. Some managers are great!

Cons

-Management care for a while, then are too busy when it doesn't concern them directly. -SLT more interested in the companies LinkedIn image than actual working environment. -SLT can make countless mistakes during redundancy proceedings yet don't get backlash, whereas any mistake by DP is scrutinised. -Disconnected and unhelpful senior leadership team, more concerned with their bonuses and board of investors than their staff. -Rapidly hiring and then making redundancies (just in time for Christmas) but won't reduce bonuses for out of touch senior leadership team. -Last minute changes and additions to policies that should have been in place from day 1. Instead, things are chopped and changed as they see fit after employees go through tough times. -Overall would not choose to work for the company again.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work. Not anymore.

Cons

Senior Management have a total disconnect and disregard from employees and operate a dictator like management style. Employees had their Christmas leave removed just 23 days before Christmas. No incentives offered for working the holiday period.

Employee Transparency Poor

Pros

The option to work from home is great.

Cons

Work life balance with the work schedule is poor. Transparency on pay scales is poor and the remuneration for the work life balance at the company is poor. There is a constant push to ask employees to do more work and take extra shifts but for no extra pay offered for this work.
