Longer hours than average (40) Awful salaries for the industry (colleagues have left for other companies for DOUBLE the salary in some cases) Less holidays than average (admittedly you do get 25 days, however only after 5 years of service, which 95% of staff don't) Company values used in all aspects of the business to the point where it feels like a cult dictatorship (you can't just vote for someone who's doing a good job, has to fit into their values) Constructive honest feedback that are of the majority are not welcome & ignored (you are seen as negative, must be positive at all times) No appreciation or a simple thanks for the effort put in (there's a company chat for praise, however only engineers and support techs are ever brought up as they are customer facing) Kind of company that boasts record profits year after year but yet will charge you for extra work uniform if you want some, take that as you will Used COVID as an excuse for no pay rises but yet managers got new company cars that year If the stars align and it's a full moon, 1k pay rise is the standard. Excellent when cost of living has had it's highest increase in 30 years Make staff "redundant" but yet hire for the same role by simply changing the job title Once had great family culture, now a corporate call center only focused on stats and graphs that are meaningless (complexity & time are the same metric apparently) A software company that has lost half of it's developers in space of a month, brushed off with no care & refusal to pay them their worth (replaced with cheap Filipino's that will take years to learn the bespoke product) "Dev" manager...if that's what you can call him has no place in the role, about as much use as sunglasses to a blind man having come from a support call center background with 0 development/programming knowledge. Only interested in stats to make himself look good in front of directors. Micro managing at every step wanting updates that can clearly be seen by the ticket boards Trying to bully staff into signing 3 month notice contracts because staff are dropping like flies

- Support management is a shambles. Other than the junior leads, it's operated by ex call centre managers who have turned it into one instead of being a support tech desk, which it once was. - The product is ok but there are issues with it that shouldn't be there that support has to pick the slack up for. A lot of the tools and processes are outdated and downright nonsensical. - No WFH/hybrid option despite having laptops and there being an international team. This is so management can keep tabs on your every move. - Quite a strict environment where you're forever being pushed to reach unrealistic goals. You can't really talk to your colleagues (even about work issues) without being asked what you're doing out of your seat. You used to be able to. - When you bring up things to improve or issues you're told 'we'll take that away, thanks' and nothing happens, or you're gaslit to change your mind. - Just above minimum wage but only because the government mandated it. Don't expect to be rewarded for going 'above and beyond'. Just expect more work coming your way
