- Technology grew too much too quickly and do not have the capabilities in the team to meet the growth leading to over work of resources and unhappy clients. - There is an atmosphere to educate and drive change, but senior management struggle with change more than any of the team so there is a gap between what they preach and what they practice. - As the company is small, you have to wear many hats and you are expected to do roles you where you have no experience or skills at but also deliver to the timeline of an expert and do the jobs of multiple people. - The CEO is huge on loyalty to his own detriment and has people in jobs they are not equipped to do because of their length of time working there rather than their capability. - There is no real long term strategy. A lot of talk and not a lot of action on strategy. - You are perceived to be 'difficult' if you speak up or have issues with team. - Siloed working - Huge pressure to deliver to timelines we cannot commit to, but company does not push back, just keeps promising. - Favoritism happens and is rife. - Some teams are a lot more hard working than others. Some teams 'work to rule' and will not do a minute over time or support other teams if they have free time. - Timesheets are strict - Culture is at team level since working from home. So it depends on your team how the culture is. - Medium/High turnover of staff. There are people there 12+ years (Most Senior managers with a stake in the company) and then the rest are there a couple of years and leave to find another challenge or are pushed out. - The gap between the senior management work load and the people doing the doing. For example, you will find some managers watching Friends, getting coffee with colleagues or playing computer games and then some teams and managers extremely over worked with no lunch breaks or social time. - Depending on the department you will either be micro managed, well supported or not supported at all. - A lot of unnecessary admin to do - No respect from clients.
