Au revoirThe good thingsWorking alongside and making great connections with people who brought excellent skills and initiatives, worked hard and tried to make a difference
The challengesThe other reviews are honest, real and echo the comments heard whilst working there. I was one of many who worked excessive hours for little to no acknowledgement, felt obligated to prioritise demands over family commitments and who gave it my all, only to have my work ethic used and destroyed. Knowing how others were treated and regularly left due to burnout or after reaching agreement to be paid to leave to avoid making formal complaints, I was one of the lucky ones to leave of my choice. Most management have no idea of the real-world environment, have little to no interpersonal skills, are intimidated by any form of initiative you show and blatantly use a scale of how much they like you to determine your performance review/bonus/career progression as well as a self-absorbed, myopic, naïve view of their and the company's importance. However, if you can find a way to fly under the radar and not have an opinion, or become a willing yes person with your manager, you will be free to perform as little as you like and receive a promotion for your efforts.
