Pros

The young people in the organisation are very friendly and welcoming. The younger generation in the company make the culture so good. The opportunity to network with C-suite executives is great and you can really build out your professional network. There is a lot of opportunities to learn from senior professionals.

Cons

The leadership team preach how external thinking is important in order to be a great leader. They don’t take their own advice. The leadership team are so disconnected with their employees and the current climate, is shocking. A lot of the younger team members have had to deal with some much pressure amd stress for not hitting targets and for not being able to cope under pressure of really high targets. there are members of the Business development team who haven’t hit target in a very long time but are yet celebrated. The partiality isn’t great and it knocks morale. Different people being treated differently isn’t great for the company culture. The leadership team live in their own bubble. It’s important to understand and acknowledge the needs of your employees and “put them at the forefront of your strategy” - a direct quote from a C-suite executive who spoke at an event of Criticaleye. However, they cannot relate to this. They don’t practice what they preach.

Pros

The people and the social aspect.

Cons

If you aren’t in direct sight of the CEO, don’t hold out any hope for a future in this company. You will not be seen, heard, progress or treated like anything bar a number in this organisation. They boast to have a great company culture which is essentially compiled of hiring a lot of graduates, throwing some money behind a bar every once in a while and putting on a free breakfast once a week. When it comes to any pressing issues, there is no HR (unless you count the CEO’s wife) and you are left feeling trapped with no one to express your concerns to other than your colleagues. The environment is toxic. For a company that preaches the importance of HR in the workplace, the mental health of their staff as a result of their incompetence is almost comical. Nothing is confidential, and information regarding pay, promotions and exit interviews are commonly shared within senior members of the organisation. You are made to feel small by the directors on the daily. Misogyny, belittling and rudeness are a daily occurrence on Teams calls. The roles itself was entirely dull and you will find yourself doing the same tasks day in, day out with little to no opportunity to give creative input on how to improve or change the daily running of things. The job has a shelf life of a year before you find yourself going insane with its repetitiveness. Overall, I haven’t met anyone that has had a positive experience within this company. The people that you meet and the shared negative experiences that hold you together are the only reason worth sticking it out for. Avoid at all costs.
