Pros
- Diversity - Great staff with can-do attitudes - Benefit options are great, but you do have to sacrifice your salary for them (little included in the base package)
Kontras
- Recent changes to hybrid working mean that the majority of employees are actually worse off for money than a year ago (before considering cost-of-living crisis); it doesn’t matter if the interviewer sold the role to you as being remote - You’re a ‘bad team member’ if you don’t follow the new rules - Likely implemented as a ‘cost-cutting’ exercise to annoy the talented workforce out so they can continue with their drive to hire ‘cheaper resources’ - Pay rises are not in line with inflation, but yet the bills still increase by CPI + 3.9% to the consumer - Senior leadership have no compassion for the employees and their wellbeing - Poorly supported roles - Expected to exceed in your role and perform above your duties, with no additional benefits - Overtime expected and unpaid - Difficult to work across squads with a lot of cumbersome ‘front-door’ procedures - Hybrid working is expected, and if no desks are available then the guidance is to ‘sit in a booth, or at a dinner table’; health and wellbeing doesn’t matter - They are actively killing-off a very recognisable brand
