Pros

- People on the ground are friendly - Benefits are good and flexible working - Commission and salary is good for certain departments (once you get equal pay) - Generally left to do your job

Cons

- Management don't help with any personal development - Lack of opportunities within certain teams for career development. - Company try to push US mentality globally which doesn't work - Slow to change - Very top heavy with management and not enough people on the ground - Lack of communication internally for problems/products/teams - Too focused on copying competition and devaluing their products to make a sale. - Call to action is different to what the company want. Too busy focused on Revenue rather than development and customer/partner experience. - Maternity/Paternity is statutory - needs to improve.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Our benefits department on-goingly benchmarks our plans and offerings to ensure we are competitive. Please feel free to reach out to them directly to share your concerns. One of our FY'22 focus is on leadership development. We do offer Career Conversation Workshops for employees and managers and hope to get the word out. Feel free to contact your HRBP about this and they will put you in touch with our Talent Management team. We describe our philosophy on career growth as a "Lattice" not a "Ladder." We want to and need to keep our employees learning, growing and developing.
