Pros

- People. I have had the pleasure of working with smart and friendly individuals - Office - it looks nice - Pace of work - it never gets stressful - Free food Fridays - always welcomed.

Cons

- Managers - most are simply incompetent. Promotions happen on the basis of friendships and not skills. The push for gender equality at leadership levels also adds to the incompetence - Strategy and planning - There is no clear strategy, only generic targets and inspirational stories. As a result, the actual planning and implementation of those visions is mostly left up to the teams. Teams led by those star managers mentioned above. What a mess - Working practices - People are not held accountable for slacking off or making repeated mistakes, maybe out of the fear of making them feel bad. The relaxed pace of work also means that things take ages to get done. Working at a normal pace makes you look like Superman - Performance reviews - absolutely worthless. Objectives are sometimes changed a week before review, mainly because you didn't get to do what you had planned for. If you look above, you might guess that it had something to do with bad managers, worse planning and slackers.

Pros

Hybrid, flexible, benefits are through the UK

Cons

Over the years, the company’s culture has steadily declined. What was once a positive and collaborative environment has shifted into one that appears to tolerate unprofessional behavior, reward favoritism, and lack strong leadership by example. Employees do not feel safe voicing concerns, even when those concerns are presented constructively with potential solutions. This has created a culture where open communication is discouraged rather than supported. There are also significant concerns regarding sales management. Leadership behaviors and work ethic at times fall short of expectations, with managers assigning responsibilities outside of employees’ defined roles, offering limited coaching, and not consistently demonstrating accountability. In some cases, work completed by team members is not appropriately recognized. Accountability overall appears to be lacking. Employees are frequently left feeling undervalued, which has contributed to low morale. While the organization promotes a commitment to work-life balance and a people-first (“keep it human”) culture, these values do not always align with the day-to-day employee experience. As a result, the company has experienced the loss of highly skilled and talented sales professionals. Recent organizational changes, including significant layoffs and the transition of roles to lower-cost regions, have further impacted trust. This has been particularly challenging given prior reassurances about job security. At this point, the organization has lost credibility with many employees due to these inconsistencies and decisions.
