Pluspunten

- There are a few pleasant people working here. - A few OK benifits eg. fruit, drinks, yoga classes

Minpunten

- Very poor management at every level. - Staff considered a disposable resource - very high turn over, no attempt to accommodate concerns, aspirations etc - Promotion is based on length of service not merit so there are a lot of incompetent people in senior and management positions. - Blame culture/scapegoating/bullying are rife - errors and failures are pinned on individuals not discussed as how it went wrong at each stage and can be rectified. People are singled out (often for things they had no involvement) - Expected to work considerably over contract hours with no compensation - Very low staff morale and satisfaction, everyone is unhappy in their job - Punished if contact HR about concerns - Performance reviews are tokenistic at best, your point of view doesn't matter only that of your manager which is often wildly inaccurate. - Equipment and programmes not fit for purpose, makes doing job very difficult. - Ambition and initiative are punished not encouraged - Disorganised in every aspect - Firmly believe that having Friday beers and company events makes up for all of the above. - The person who shouts loudest gets their way regardless of merit - Poor product and questionable processes makes it hard to get behind

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
