Pros

Great Office but hybrid policy was deferred to 2023 so variable whether people went to the office Decent IT Kit Induction well thought through Paid well though I joinded in 2021 when the market was toppy Interview process was pacey but conversely very superficial despite the 6 interviews CEO - seems to be down to earth and genuine

Cons

Dysfunctional org structure and serious lack of capability at senior levels. Basics not in place such as management accounts which for PLC is just plain weird Nepotism - sorry I have to say this but promotion is based on relationships not performance Business strategy is incoherent and a case of strategy on the hoof; which comes through on Investor presentations In denial that the business model for Grocery is not commercially viable No sense of structure to the business You can't manage a complex business by the power of Slack messaging alone

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
