Toxic culture

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Great annual leave allowance. Most of the people who work there are good people who want to get things done right

Cons

Management unable to own responsibility to remove the toxic culture on site, would even go as far as they reward negative behaviour

Pros

Pay - about it, some lovely talented people but sadly only the bullies received progression opportunities.

Cons

Terrible weak management, inability to speak up and raise challenges without being perceived as difficult, inconsistent policies applied to a select number of favourites (the ones willing to suck up to leadership teams). Illogical wfh policy. Work life balance is out of control. Competence is rewarded with a staggering and unsustainable workload.

Useless IT department

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

It really depends what team you are part of. Overall, environment and colleagues are ok. Great work-life balance. And if that's your thing and you're lucky enough to be part of particular IT teams, you can get relatively good salary for delivering almost nothing.

Cons

I can only talk about IT department I'm part of. Useless management which delegates responsibility to junior teams which leads to situation of barely delivering anything. Mostly unexperienced developers who cannot fathom consequences of their decisions. Very little value provided from scrum masters. Crowded office spaces, often leading to situation where employee doesn't have a place to sit(!) but no generous home-office policy.
