Pros

Hybrid working and good colleagues.

Cons

I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that changes its business strategy as much as this place does. The company is like a kid with ADHD. The staff turnover is incredible and this is across all areas of the business, from the grunts to the brass. Let’s not forget the politics, which are relentless and infantile. Some big changes happening at the moment and I’d argue, although probably necessary in some cases, they have been handled in the most insensitive and appalling way, which will only go reenforce turnover even further in the long term. *hint hint* you need people to operate a functioning business. The “people” team must be named with a bitter sense of irony, as I’ve not seen even a modicum of empathy towards employees since the new commandant was appointed. All the while the CEO is the embodiment of the “this is fine” meme.

Hello and thank you for your feedback. I'll try to cover the main points. 1 - business strategy is something that absolutely should change and evolve as the business grows and develops. Keeping an eye on the market and pivoting as and when needed is a sign of a good leadership that keeps the business going and growing. There were many that were reluctant to change and are now unfortunately out of business. 2 - staff turnover is not really an issue in EO and would love to know the data you're basing your assumptions on. EO has definitely evolved from a manufacturing family business to now include more verticals, and this may not be the right environment anymore for some people and that's OK! different stages of a company appeals to different people and we must embrace that and support people as they move along. 3 - as mentioned above - pivoting and changing to maintain and grow the business sometimes entails letting some people go. I don't think there's ever been a sad announcement like this that wasn't followed by criticism. There's no clear right or wrong to manage a process like this and different people receive news in different ways. Myself and the leadership team have been speaking to many of our team members every day all day and try as hard as we can to support. If you have anything to share with us that you think will be beneficial then please do :) 4 - the latest hiring in the leadership team came from specialised agencies (CFO, CRO and DoP) and not from LI search or personal recommendations. Having said that I don't think using LI or referrals is a negative thing. LI is a huge professional network with ~900M users. It's purpose is to make connections, network and support people finding their next role. It is used by anyone who's doing sourcing. Referrals as well are a great tool to source new talent - this also usually comes with a significant monetary payout for those who refer people. People like to work with great people and people they know. It's been proven to reduce churn. If you are still working in EO, I'd love it if you could send me a message or let me take you out for coffee so we can discuss your feedback more.

Sinking like a stone

Pros

Like Frank Sintra and regrets, I have none.

Cons

All the issues at this business start at the top. The business would get no investment and the boardroom is basically full of Wish.com Steven Bartletts and failed candiates from "The Apprentice" You've no longer got a USP and will soon be swallowed up or replaced. Enjoy it while it lasts. The CEO could not lead their way out of the plastic tunnels dogs go through at Crufts. Is more concerned about the story of the business than the running of it. CTO, they did a documentry film about them it's called "the invisable man" which for a technology company is shameful. COO, Chief Operations Officer has the personality of a lettuce and following what will soon be three rounds of lay offs in under a year no operations to be in charge of. CRO, the Chief Revenue Officer seems more concerned with cutting costs than you know bringing in revenue. Boasted about his large contact list until an annoymous email was shared that called him out on it. CFO, came recently I will with hold judgement CPO/Chief People Officer. Turns out this person is running recruitment and honestly I would not trust them to run a bath let alone a department of a business. Since they arrived turnover of staff has gone through the roof. They are so thin skinned they have blocked a lot of past and present employees on linkedin. 24 months ago I could happily suggest to friends that this company would be somewhere they wished to work. Now? I don't think the company will be around in 24 weeks.

Lacks detail in the big picture

Pros

Great competitive pay packages, amazing benefits packages. Some really great people. CEO is very approachable and friendly.

Cons

Shocking amount of turnover. People just seem to disappear without explanation. Lack of detail in direction. Big things are said about the future of the business by leadership but with no real substance in terms of how to get there. The devil's in the detail, no action plans by leadership. It's great for leadership to have a helicopter approach but there needs to be an actual consistent plan for at least a year without deviation. Instead we had seen about 3 different plans and focuses in 6 months. They will switch focus and plans on a dime when their team don't have success in the short term. New business takes time to grow and mature. No real long term plan at all. Not an optimal business currently. Hopefully that changes for the sake of everyone still there.
