      Pros

      Good salary, interesting technology, good colleagues.

      Cons

      Senior management insists employees return to the office at least one day a week, even though London and the South East are at tier 4 in response to COVID-19. The company continue to ignore government guidelines on working from home whenever possible, even after employees prove they can work effectively from home. Senior leadership did not say why the decision to return to the office continues as the pandemic gets worse. Senior management is not doing anything to address people’s questions about COVID-19 or returning to the office. Senior management does not seem to care about the health of employees and their families. Senior management has created a culture of silence around the handling of COVID-19, concerns about the virus, and any objections to returning to the office. Avoid working at G-Research if you want to work for a reputable company that respects the health and well-being of its employees.

      Thanks for your review. At G-Research, we value our ability to collaborate. In November, staff returned to our COVID-secure office for one day per week, to help them retain some of the benefits of in-person interactions while continuing to work remotely for the majority of the time. We keep this under constant review in line with Government guidance. We know that people have different concerns and personal circumstances and are working on a one-to-one basis to discuss individual situations and provide the right support. If you have any concerns, please reach out to your line manager or HR.

      Pros

      Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

      Cons

      No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
