Pros

Criticaleye offers a really exciting/dynamic environment - it's a truly unique opportunity to learn about business and leadership challenges as staff get a chance to form relationships with the members (all senior/Board-level executives who cover a range of businesses/sectors) and hear really honest insights/stories from them. Senior management are open and dedicate a lot of time to supporting teams internally - much more so than in previous roles I've had where most staff didn't have much access to senior directors or the CEO at all. Like our members, you get out what you put in at Criticaleye. As one of the team, there are lots of opportunities to learn new things by joining meetings with members, and managers are very supportive of this. Because it is a small business, you're not restricted to a rigid job spec, and honestly, the opportunity to make a real impact is huge. Management want you to succeed, welcome new ideas and take every opportunity to celebrate success through company away days and other special celebrations/parties throughout the year.

Cons

Not really a con, but Criticaleye is a busy, fast-paced environment so probably best suited to people who enjoy/thrive in that type of workplace.

Pros

The people and the social aspect.

Cons

If you aren’t in direct sight of the CEO, don’t hold out any hope for a future in this company. You will not be seen, heard, progress or treated like anything bar a number in this organisation. They boast to have a great company culture which is essentially compiled of hiring a lot of graduates, throwing some money behind a bar every once in a while and putting on a free breakfast once a week. When it comes to any pressing issues, there is no HR (unless you count the CEO’s wife) and you are left feeling trapped with no one to express your concerns to other than your colleagues. The environment is toxic. For a company that preaches the importance of HR in the workplace, the mental health of their staff as a result of their incompetence is almost comical. Nothing is confidential, and information regarding pay, promotions and exit interviews are commonly shared within senior members of the organisation. You are made to feel small by the directors on the daily. Misogyny, belittling and rudeness are a daily occurrence on Teams calls. The roles itself was entirely dull and you will find yourself doing the same tasks day in, day out with little to no opportunity to give creative input on how to improve or change the daily running of things. The job has a shelf life of a year before you find yourself going insane with its repetitiveness. Overall, I haven’t met anyone that has had a positive experience within this company. The people that you meet and the shared negative experiences that hold you together are the only reason worth sticking it out for. Avoid at all costs.
