Pros

Some very capable people here.....but they're sadly being wasted

Cons

Senior Management lack genuine experience, lack attention to detail and therefore lack insight to identify talent they have, acquire talent they don't (vs hire in from their 'old boy network'), develop talent that's there (if they cared to looked), retain talent under their nose and thereby lead a great British institution from the front. They simply come across as the infamous Generals safe and protected way behind the lines in WWI

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
