      Poor IT strategy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fantastic people to work with, good collaboration between people on projects with a clearly defined goal. Some really knowledgeable but underutilised people who genuinely know what they are talking about.

      Cons

      CEO's favourite line is 'Capable and Committed Colleagues' when the reality is you're just a number waiting to be ticked off a balance sheet. VERY experienced people's jobs are outsourced and moved offshore with very little handover leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. The place is very outsource heavy, Accenture, Mindtree, SoftServe, BJSS, InfoSys, IBM just to name a few, with very blurred lines between. There's so much hot air and things move at a snails pace with hardly anything getting done. Management are oblivious to the problems on the ground when joining a single call will tell them everything they need to know about why so many projects are delayed or mothballed. They have a quarterly 'Pulse' survey where colleague feedback has been ignored or brushed under the carpet for years. As a Currys veteran, sadly, I completely lack confidence in the IT transformation strategy.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some really good street smart people Entrepreneurial to some extent Pays well at the level I was

      Cons

      Toxic environment and they don't care for employees. I was part of the senior management club and then I ran into some serious health crisis and issues. I survived and then came back from long health leave (3 months) and when divisional HRBP saw me for the first time she made a very insensitive remark "Oh you are back!! We are were not expecting you to come back". 2 weeks down the line they made me redundant. Now I was still coping with health issues (getting better but on Chemo) and then lost my health insurance through work and also didn't have a job (single earner in the family). I had reasonable grounds to take you to court but I decided againt it I had reasonable grounds to take these guys to to court but I decided against it as I didn't want the negativity in my life. By god's grace, I am doing well now and doing much better in life from all aspects but this company is disgusting. Absolutely hate this company and some of the people involved during my last 6 months at this company.
