Good Perks, Slow Growth
Good Perks, Slow Growth
Benefits and salary are above average.
Flexibility to work from home or at different times.
Lots of resources: training, equipment, books, digital libraries, etc.
Some nice perks in the London office.
Slow career progression, still based on individual performance and visibility, which leads to:
- Very competitive colleagues (forget teamwork).
- Managers, managers, managers... heavily focused on command/control hierarchy.
- Lots of in-house tools and technologies. Takes a while to master, and isn't useful anywhere else.
The CEO has been dragging the company into the 21st century, promoting collaboration and innovation. However, there's still a lot to overcome with the massive number of 90s-minded managers and processes.
