-The Engineering team is constantly seen as the issue when something goes wrong in product ,when they are simply building what the product team tells them to, lack of ownership from them when something they ‘designed and researched’ doesn’t get the praises they want from customers. -There is a lack of leadership from the top down with consistent finger pointing from one to the other. Rather than accepting fault leadership often finds someone else to blame for why something turned out the way that it did. -HR is inexperienced and unhelpful. Often when raising an issue to them they simply say ‘work through it’ and provide no support or ideas on how to ‘work through it’. Quite awkward having an HR team that runs away from conflict and does not offer any help. -Junior people with very few years of experience or none are in positions that should have people with knowledge and experience in the role they’re doing, this is across the business in every department. This makes it difficult to reason with these people as there’s quite a bit of ‘I know best’ attitude. -There is no set pay structure for roles and HR is not the best when it comes to giving banding for roles so there’s some extremely inflated salaries for some in the business while others are extremely underpaid for the work they’re doing. -The CEO is forcing people back into the office after having spent a fortune on it. Moved to a ‘remote first’ model and quickly changed back to requiring those within 90 minutes of the office in London to be coming in which is in gross contrast to what was said months ago that the company will not force people to come into the office. Most of us on are on salaries that cannot absorb the commute cost during the cost of living crisis and intense inflation seen.
