Pros

The only pro was leaving this company

Cons

Avoid this company at all costs. Despite its seemingly appealing facade, the reality is grim. The employers are atrocious, treating their employees like disposable commodities while offering abysmal pay. Don't be deceived by the outward appearance; working here is a nightmare.

Pros

Nice events and good office location

Cons

Despite the initial promise of a supportive environment, my experience with the HR/people team has left much to be desired. While they actively engage in planning and organising small office events, their responsiveness and support in critical situations have been lacking. Despite their constant emphasis on the importance of mental health, they tend to become defensive when their assistance is needed the most. The absence of effective management is a notable drawback in this company. The expectation to set one's own goals and find tasks to do can be challenging without proper guidance and support. Unfortunately, seeking help or clarification from managers often leads to unhelpful responses, and in some cases, it's even used against employees, impacting 121 meetings and contract renewals negatively. Despite the facade of a friendly and helpful atmosphere, the reality of the company falls short of expectations. While it may serve as a suitable short-term option, the lack of genuine support and the deceitful nature of the organizational dynamics make it imperative to consider other opportunities for long-term career growth and job satisfaction.

I am sorry to hear that you felt your interactions with the HR/People Team was non supportive. We have several trained mental health first-aiders within the organisation, and colleagues are encouraged to reach out to them as and when they need additional support. If the People Team is made aware of any mental health crises we will do our utmost to respond and assist colleagues.
