No work/life balance, no respect!

Pros

They don't know what the core hours of business are, but then again, that not such a pro, but it does help you decide your own hours.

Cons

They don't take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. The IT and HR departments are very inexperienced and lack the knowledge and respect of their roles. They have no idea how to answer simple questions, you're on your own!

Shambolic IT senior management team - very slow and unresponsive/senior leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Apart from IT the rest of the departments are good to work for

Cons

IT is a sham, slow, unresponsive and very cynical. People are not promoted for their skill and initiative and delivery capabilities. People have risen to the level of incompetence - at least they aren't doing the work which would mean certain meltdown. bordering on corrupt. Promotion is merited on being friends with the VPs If you like football and rugby you'll get on with leadership None of the VPs in tech have any qualifications in IT or anything else. If you want to feel like you are working in fiefdom and dictatorship and have a need to know what 70s style management is then join this team. Otherwise stay well clear!!!
