The worst mistake of your life

Pros

In general, people here are friendly and nice.

Cons

Absolutely terrible management with zero empathy or people skills. They believe threatening employees with termination is the best way to get work done. Management constantly looks for people to blame instead of taking accountability and actually coaching the team. Employees are treated like workhorses and made to churn out work with absolutely no praise or recognition for efforts. Turnover is high due to abysmal office culture and poor prospects of job advancement. Be prepared to have business rules change in front of your face every week with no proper documentation process. Then be prepared to take criticism for not knowing the business rules like the back of your hand. Utter neglect for "innovation" and technology as 10+ year old software still drives the business.

Started great, ended badly

Pros

Flexible working arrangements Team members were great

Cons

I was actually bullied quite openly by a senior manager and nobody ever did a thing to stop it. Including my own managers. I was also forced into a role that I didn't want to perform for nearly a year and never remunerated for the additional work or stress that I was forced to take on. I spent a lot of time in proximity to senior management, and it was such an old boys club of pervy old men thinking they were big shots.

Pros

Under previous manager I was given a voice.l and confidence. His leadership and engagement gave me the opportunity to do things I had no idea I was capable of achieving.

Cons

Company only cares about nominating themselves for fake awards to post on social media. They never actually do the work. Female manager said ‘if you want to go down whichever career path I will fight for you’. Except never did that when came to her. They hire/promote people with zero experience for roles because they want to make themselves look good about hiring internally/diversity tick. Force staff to come up with initiative ideas, but you have to swing the idea like it was managers idea in the first place. Managers will make you do all work for idea, but they will take all the credit for the success. Second something goes wrong you get thrown under the bus and not supported. Management claims they are listening, but they only want to hear how great they are doing. The amount of bullying, backstabbing and talking horribly behind so many people’s backs created a toxic work environment that most people don’t like walking into the office. A tech was given hush money to stop going to Fair Trading and is on paid stress leave for 12months.
