- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
good benefits and incentives (including shares scheme).
Cons
It's just a mess of an organisation. Outdated systems make your job more hassle than it needs to be. They have an issue with developing new processes & software which often makes you wonder why you're doing something when there is almost always a more efficient way for it to be done. People are MASSIVELY overworked. It's clear in some departments that there is a need for more people instead of spreading people so thinly and being mad at them when they are unable to produce work within a deadline or to an expected standard. This is honestly the worst place I've ever worked for so many reasons. The hours are often unduly long because they simply refuse to run the organisation properly by hiring more staff and improving systems. Certain managers are just straight up rude and inconsiderate with no interpersonal skills. Feels like a poorly run factory that cuts as many corners as possible rather than a successful corporation. Also, talk of flexible working is simply just talk. Don't expect to be given the option of when to come into the office or how to manage your workload. Also It's very likely that you will be aggressively micro-managed.
