      Toxic culture, incompetent tech, and full on politics

      Pros

      No meetings on friday and its a great place as a last career job.

      Cons

      Bad tech teams. Most of the tech folks are incompetent. Good folks leave quickly and bad stay. Too much politics. For everything you need approval. The leadership make most of the decisions, the rest of the folks just try to lobby against each other to keep their jobs and project. This leads to a very toxic work culture. The ones who are favored by leadership get all good projects, rest are just paper pusher. Most of the leaders have no relevant experience. They are there because they stayed (could not find job outside).

      Pros

      A very good brand. You will have loads of recruiters looking for you on LinkedIn Location is centralised

      Cons

      This company has too much top management (top-heavy). A lot of top management planning, but too few people to “execute” their big plans. Many of us work overtime. The boss doesn’t care if you have a work-life balance or not. Working overtime and during weekends is very normal for all executives. The leaders pay a lot of attention to ideas.. big plans and dreams for the future. But don’t realize the hard work behind running the operations. Many a time, this management DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE JOB! Yet can be the best painters to paint a good picture to the leaders. The turnover rate in this company is extremely high.

      Pros

      The management really want you to thrive and so they have development conversations that help you understand what you need to do to get to where you want to go. I was lucky enough that I had such supportive leaders that invested in me, and colleagues that truly want to see us all succeed. If you have the positive and can-do attitude, with a strong set of problem solving skills, this job although stressful, was extremely rewarding. I felt valued and listened to and my team made it so worthwhile to work in retail.

      Cons

      Office politics, tend to be overworked, workload is larger than allocated time for completion
