Pros
  • Great pay
  • Nice and fun colleagues
Cons

The Executive team believes they have the best intentions but never listen to what the employees want.

Priorities change every quarter. Projects and teams get shuffled and destroyed on the regular.

There is no sense of ownership as everything is questioned and might be reprioritized.

The entire higher management team is males only.

There is little to no focus on the employees' experience and progression. The focus is always on the customer and how to make more money quicker.

Work from home is a very upsetting subject to the exec team. They are putting a lot of pressure on people to return for 3 days a week but offer little understanding.

Advice to Management

More focus on the problems employees face.

More focus on employee experience, more appetite for time required to fix issues accumulated over time instead of constantly jumping onto new work. Do one thing at a time and do it well!

More focus on employee progression and facilitating a growth environment.

More focus on minority groups.
