Pros
Most people here are great to work with, and the work life balance is one of the real positives. Refreshing to have a new CEO and Advisor to the Group.
Cons
While there are many good people here, it’s noticeable that a number of strong performers continue to leave, and morale feels low across several areas. The current COO is clearly trying to make a positive impact, but there are gaps in empathy, communication, and the level of leadership experience needed at this level. When long‑standing employees who have consistently delivered are suddenly told by certain senior managers that they ‘know their job better than them’, without listening or showing respect, it naturally creates frustration. Relying on positional authority rather than collaboration or expertise creates an environment where people feel undervalued and unheard. This is an issue that needs attention before it causes further disruption to a company that has historically been a great place to work. There is also an ongoing sense of job insecurity, with yearly restructures creating the feeling that redundancies are always around the corner. Unfortunately, it sometimes appears that certain managers are unbothered by the anxiety this creates, which only damages trust and culture further.
