Pros
- Nice people - Has potential to be a great and interesting company if management let go of the reigns and allowed their people to get on with their jobs they've been hired to do - Good for junior people only as you will learn a lot and get thrown in the deep end in a positive way
Cons
- Bad systems - what Reply create for its clients is great, but the internal systems are forgotten about. - A lot of red tape to get anything done. - Recruitment process - Can't take initiative, you get shot down if you have a suggestion that is remotely different from what has been done in the past. There is no forward thinking and creates lack of confidence. - Management don't like feedback, even when it's consistent and something is wasting money. - Not very adaptive and not interested in learning what has worked well for a company that is being acquired - the acquired company must adapt to worse systems. - Company/management doesn't take into consideration the business culture of the country it's operating in. - Lack of training opportunities - People can be left to clients on their own and feel no sense of belonging to Reply. - Lack of interaction and exposure between Reply companies
