Pros

Most people are talented and pleasant to work with. The work can be really interesting.

Cons

- Very little client work and non in the foreseeable future. - Made people redundant and didn't even tell the clients they were working with. - People told they were no longer a cultural fit and made to feel like they were being sacked. - Toxic culture at club level. - 'Cultural fit' is a weapon. Management changes this year have ruined the culture of the company. It's moved from open, honest and transparent to secrets and lies. There's an inner circle now that if you cross, you will be removed from the company. Cultural fit is being used as a weapon. If you have an opinion that is different to one of the inner circle, then you are not a cultural fit and you will be sacked. You won't even be asked for your point of view or allowed to defend yourself, you simply don't fall in line with the inner circle.

Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback on your experience here at Zaizi. We are proud to have such talented staff at Zaizi and we are happy to hear you found the projects interesting. We know redundancies can be a difficult process for everyone involved. While the cultural fit was a factor, the selection for redundancy also considered other things, such as performance and having the right skills for our future growth. Companies use values to ensure everyone is aligned with the same vision and goal. While you've expressed concern about it being used negatively, company values are used to cultivate a company culture that fosters teamwork and achieves overall success. We aim to embrace our values (People, Passion, Purpose) by putting people first, delivering impactful projects whilst bringing passion to our work. That being said, of course, there's always room for improvement, and we'll take on board any feedback that allows us to reflect and learn

Pros

Varied projects to challenge everyone Good career progression

Cons

Smaller consultancy means that one sometimes has to hop around quite a bit to get stuff done - but that's also a pro sometimes
