Ok to wait out COVID, not suitable for high calibre experienced hires in long term, strategy is more a BI role here
Pros
- ok comp - decent work life balance - some very good managers (director level managers) - organisatinal willigness to learn and improve according to employee feedback
Cons
- value of high calibre experienced hires is currently not yet understood by organisation and people are not fitted in correctly into roles where they can make the best impact -a lot of the strategy roles; are effectively BI roles with a small business dimension, it is not really suitable for experienced hires, especially if 60-80% of the work will be SQL coding - people with 4-6 consulting experience (coming evening from a manager level role) end up being on the same level as a grad after 1 year internal experience - it creates a very odd dynamic and tells one that the value proposition is not understood if you can be manager/ senior manager / director in other comparable organisations with that experience - most experienced people with strong profiles have realised that/ do realise it after a few weeks in - due to COVID we are trapped now, but fear not once the opportunity is given people will move on to the right options - although good progression was promised and obvisouly oversold at recruiting stage will need to be validated, currently not particularly convinced by it - overall it is not a disaster but looking at the other options I had back then as a strong hire I am regretting it a bit, will most likely jump asap once COVID impact fades away
