Pros

- The only real “pros” are the memories of what this company used to be — a genuinely great culture, fun and regular socials, respected and inspiring leaders, and interesting, meaningful work. - Unfortunately, none of this exists anymore.

Cons

- Most of the best people left, and in many cases have been replaced with weaker capability. - Expectations have increased significantly across all grades, making progression and promotion far harder to achieve. - There is constant pressure to bring in work, with a heavy emphasis on business development and building the business on top of demanding client delivery - it’s like doing three jobs at once. - There are no longer any company-wide socials or fun incentives. - There have been no pay increases for years, including no proper inflation adjustments. - Employees are being encouraged to post positive Glassdoor reviews to counterbalance the negative ones, which does not feel like an honest reflection of how people are actually feeling. - People do not feel valued, morale is at an all time low, and most people are actively looking to leave. - The overall atmosphere in the office is flat and demoralising, the energy has gone and feels more like a funeral than a workplace.

This was a really hard review to read and digest but thank you for your honesty. It’s very sad to see that you think all of the good things at Gate One no longer exist. Hopefully there’s at least one SLT member you trust to speak to directly to get things off your chest more directly, you can also use the anonymous 360 feedback. It would be very helpful to get your opinion on the things we’ll be reviewing as part of the EVP Evolution initiative - especially relating to the things you mention: Workload and expectations, recognition and pay, socials and morale – please share with your employee engagement rep. Finally, please be reassured that there isn’t a leadership strategy asking people to write positive Glassdoor reviews, perhaps those who aren’t feeling as negative want to show a bit of balance.

Pros

Good people, with lots of growth potential - especially in the United States. Very manageable work-life balance, and opportunities to shape your own career trajectory. Motivated people can have huge impact.

Cons

Senior leadership are adjusting slowly to the pressures of international expansion. Company is still maturing in terms of internal processes, which lands on mid-level management.
