Pros

Agile working and benefits. Salaries are fair and in line with the industry

Cons

Within the IT department a recent change in senior management has resulted in a new culture of fear, blame and bullying to achieve results within an already overworked department. This has been raised directly to the CEO on multiple occasions and ignored. Given how this this behavior is well known and several people have spoken up it would suggest it is tolerated if not endorsed by the Exec level?

Thank you for your review. We are particularly grateful for the hard work from the technology team as we transition to virtual ways of working in the current crisis. Our values place a high priority on speaking up, and the team have been able to do so regularly. That does not mean that people will always agree with your position. There are many vital changes being made within technology and some of them are difficult and challenge established ways of working. We believe this will lead to a positive, supportive culture where we can deliver exciting and major tech developments we have planned over the next few years. Although change can be uncomfortable, we do not tolerate bullying and harassment. Any such claims would be investigated fully and if you have concerns and evidence, please do make a formal complaint and it will be investigated objectively.

Pros

Some great people passionate about improving the lives of young people. Great perks include flexible working/work from home, vitality healthcare and associated employee perks, office shuts for Christmas also.

Cons

Some very bad managers who promote 'friends' opposed to staff who have made great professional achievements. Not a very diverse workforce either.
