Great purpose and caring colleagues, but complexity hampers progress

Business Outlook

Pros

A great purpose driven company. I work with great people that care about what they do and build strong relationships both internal and external. A flexibile work environment where possible.

Cons

Complexity and duplication exist in this organisation. Simplification and alignment of structure and process will help to alleviate but some foundational alignment needs to occur first.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunities available with the company buying other businesses.

Cons

Management openly discriminate based on race and sex to the point that they are happy to put it in writing. Any suggestion to have these cases reviewed by HR is met with threats of retribution that you will be fired or not considered for any future roles, and that management will all be aligned with each other in messaging if anything’s reported, so nothing will happen. Told that if you don’t like that approach, “you don’t have to work here, you know where the door is”.
