Pros

Team mates were superb Interesting projects

Cons

When this company has issues they get rid of staff. The South African parent company decided that the project wasn't going well so they made the whole development team redundant! When staff leave they are not being replaced This company does not treat its staff well The number of call centre staff staying is very poor Wouldn't pay for hotel for staff travelling to their Christmas party from Derby / Leeds offices!

Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on Glassdoor. I wanted to take a moment to respond, as I believe I can offer some clarity on the points you raised. I completely agree that our staff are our greatest asset, and we work hard to retain them. As we outlined with you at the time, we were clear that the decision came from the Company and was made after many discussions. We took the time to speak with everyone involved, both as a group and individually, to cover the business case and address any points raised. I understand that it can be challenging when the Company makes decisions based on the performance of a project, especially when you are part of that project team. I’m sorry you were unable to attend the Christmas party, which many of the Leeds-based staff were able to join, with travel and accommodation covered. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Pros

Good people who want to do good work together. Some great managers who genuinely care about their team's development and doing the right thing.

Cons

Some toxic leadership because of the fear of being moved on due to changes from Private Equity takeover.
