Pros

- not entirely corporate environment, a lot of flexibility (well it is also a challenge when it gets very chaotic) - very nice staff in general

Cons

- low salary - not clear career path - management doesnt respect people,doesnt respect their need to have a private life, so the GM wants to talk to you at 6pm and the meeting dosent end before 9pm so basically management is very spontanous - a lot of ideas but no plan/tools/resources/persistace to put them into practice - some people are treated better than others, there was a mobing person who was backed by one of the managemnt board members and she was only fired when he left - and the management is very chovinistic - it's the 21st century guys! Wake up!

Hi There Many thanks for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you appreciate the flexibility we have to offer within the organisation. We currently work in a male dominated industry but we are seeing clear signs of improvement in our gender balance. How our employees experience the organisation is of great importance to us and I hope you took advantage of the opportunity to feed this into our recent Culture Survey which our regional and Business Services teams are now using to form their own action plans. Work life balance is important and we appreciate that in a project led environment it can be tricky at times to feel obtain this sense of balance. I am sorry to hear about your experiences. We value our employees' health and well being and will continue to push our work life balance initiatives. Your point about career paths is noted. We have recently undertaken a review of our core competencies and grade descriptions with a view to helping add clarity around career progression for all employees. Many thanks and good luck with your future endeavours.

Hi There Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It's great to hear you are finding the nature of our work of interest. I'd encourage you to speak to your line manager and/or HR Representative about your career options, it's sometimes useful to just walk things through with someone else, so you are aware of the best way to develop your career for you. Our CPO window opens shortly so it's a great time to have a career conversation. Many Thanks
