Pros
The people in the Bristol office were great (pre-redundancies), there was an attempt to introduce wellbeing initiatives (Bristol office) though short-lived (due to redundancies), the social side of the Bristol office (pre-redundancies) was also very positive.
Cons
It felt as though this company made a very swift transition from services to SaaS, which was poorly considered, managed and communicated. This decision came from the senior leadership team, based in London, and was communicated to the bulk of the company’s workforce based in Bristol. As a result the teams in Bristol who were responsible for fulfilling client work were faced with mass redundancies. During the transition, the plan about the future of the company, and how it was going to deliver on the aims seemed to change very rapidly - even after redundancies. I did not feel very well line-managed in my role. I did not receive any training or general on boarding when I started, I did not have regular catch-ups with a manager, nor did I receive any communication about workload or feedback on any work unless I chased for this. Though there was talk of funding for additional learning, and being involved in other projects, this did not happen equally across all staff. These promises were concentrated disproportionately amongst few staff at the London office. The redundancies have left very few staff (~3) at the Bristol office, and ~5 in the London office.
