Worst Company i've worked for

Pros

Couple of really hard working senior managers/directors. Interesting projects.

Cons

Never worked for a company that were so belittling whilst completely rinsing you for your pathetic salary. Poor development opportunities and didn't care about you much as a person - which is reflected in their high staff turnover, it seemed like there was a new member of staff in the CS team once a fortnight.

Thank you for your review, all feedback is gratefully received, and we take on board all feedback, both the good and the bad. Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a great experience whilst working here at CGA. We pride ourselves on being a meritocracy, where individuals are promoted based on their talent and ability rather than time served. We have a long history of promoting from within, and we are proud that 70% of our leadership team have progressed through the business in to their respective senior level roles. We are pleased that you recognise our employees and a hard-working senior leadership team, as we pride ourselves in being passionate about delivering the very best for our clients and we do aim to recognise the talent and commitment of our team. There are lots of opportunities for training and development, we hold a whole host of internal training sessions and we invest each year in bringing in some of the best external trainers to upskill our teams. We aim to recognise talent at every level of the business through our Future Leaders Programme, which is a platform for our stars to fast track their learning and development and achieve great things here at CGA. We continuously measure employee satisfaction and this year’s survey told us that 90% of employees are happy in their role at CGA and 93% agree that the leaders and managers care for their teams’ wellbeing as well as their professional development. We are sorry that you felt that these opportunities weren’t right for you, and we wish you all the best in the future.

Pros

CGA is thriving and there are loads of really interesting projects to work on. The company has a good culture, with senior management that genuinely care about trying to make it a fun and enjoyable place to work. Personal effort is rewarded, with bi-annual bonuses and a bi-monthly award scheme that colleagues can nominate each other for.

Cons

There are sometimes communication problems between different parts of the business, which can lead to unnecessary pressure and inconvenience. Project target dates / deadlines are not always realistic, and the business often takes on a lot of challenges at once, causing resource to be spread slightly too thin. The company has grown quite rapidly and is still working out how to function effectively at a larger size, e.g. for HR processes and project management approaches, but there is forward progress and a commitment to improve in these areas.

Not what I was expecting

Pros

Casual dress code, good location (close to amenities)

Cons

Not a very friendly environment, rude and condescending management, who are poor at delegating tasks. Very unwelcoming to new staff and poor at integrating them into the team.
