      Pros

      Colleagues are largely friendly and sociable, they care about what they do. Office is nice. There is a desire to fix some of the older systems, mess of data and tech legacy.

      Cons

      Talk of IPO was on the horizon but did not make the number desired back in 2020. Rumblings from above suggest same in next few years. Instant revenue is valued, presentee-ism in working from home policy and a covert move to transfer technical resource to Pune office aka SNTPS in new organisational discussions. Management issues, DEI here is a joke and several senior women with experience have been passed over for promotion or left altogether in website, IT, technology teams. Transparency is a huge issue, senior teams have big plans they will not share with teams this will impact. Getting a promotion largely hinges on halo effect of highly visible work not competency, hiring confirmation bias or popularity over the right candidate. Technical teams are short staffed with huge workloads they cannot deliver. Advice to Management Be transparent.

      Thank you for your feedback. The IPO talk referred to here was a few years ago and we are now focusing on our growth strategy. We are proud of the work we do and have published our stats in the 2022 Sustainability report. So currently 43% in our top three tiers are female and our target is 45% by end of 2023. Last year we actually hired more women than men and diversity is top of our agenda. We are looking to diversify our location strategy also and will continue to hire across the globe in our core locations. We have a speak up culture and encourage all our colleagues to talk to their manager or their managers manager if things are not clear. Alternatively please contact HR. Thank you again.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

      Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
