Pros

When I first started it was a fantastic place to work. I learned a lot and really developed my skill set with great coaching and management around me. The earning potential was high, the targets were high but manageable as long as the work was put in and the team was solid.

Cons

Towards the end of my tenure I felt like the company had gone cold, they showed little remorse and there was very little room for growth. With the number of acquisitions and mergers going on it felt like there was no direction and selling anything to anyone became the norm. Targets became unreachable and products were never really improved upon.

Morale has taken a nose dive, but maybe that is the plan

Pros

Across my near-decade at Renaissance, I have felt a true connection to our company's mission statement to accelerate learning for all by directly (and indirectly) supporting teachers, schools and students. The change to remote working since the pandemic has provided unbelievable benefits to my work/life balance and I have got to meet a wide range of great and engaging colleagues both in London and around the globe.

Cons

In the last 12 months, there has been an ever declining morale from staff with our new UK leadership. Actions are being taken with very little regard for the ramifications and wellbeing of staff, with UK SLT often making comments and decisions that conflict with messaging and goals from US ELT - a deliberate decision has been made by the new UK SLT to no longer record meetings which many believe is, in part, so they cannot be held accountable. Comments are made in this non-recording meetings, with one UK SLT member saying staff will be disciplined for talking about pay despite it being a protected right in the UK. Morale is lower now than I have seen in any company in my working career and it is taking the US involvement to try and solve it. There is no leadership from the UK to ensure staff wellbeing is protected, opting for a get-in, get-out approach following 20-25% of Renaissance UK being made redundant (not for budget, but because there are too many heads). Leadership have a bias towards colleagues they have managed for extensive periods, perhaps unconscious but notable by both legacy Renaissance colleagues and the GL staff who are witnessing the reverse takeover (as described by UK SLT).
