Pros

Not sure. Who doesn't have espresso machines and beer fridays? Perhaps one pro is their reaction to the company survey results of which the prime issue was under market salaries. Management responded via the mass lay offs. I suppose that is A response.

Cons

In my 20 years of professional career I have never worked for such a mismanaged company nor have I ever been subjected to such a toxic and unsafe workplace. I watched as managers and team members around me took multiple stress leaves to survive the day to day turmoil. I reported multiple HR compliance issues including discrimination, threats of violence, bullying and was met with an ill equpped HR team that failed to do anything. I don't even think the lack of action was intential rather they simply didn't know HOW to react. I appreciate the challenge NI is facing to cut high operating costs to improve profit margin and have worked at multiple companies in financial and organizational distress who had to let employees go but was shocked at how poorly prepared leadership was to react to these challenges. Just look at the canned response they are copying and pasting to each employee review. If they can't even afford creative and empathetic responses to their own employees how can you expect them to be able to respond to their user needs? They say in their responses that they are starting company wide Q&A but watch out, the last time they did this Danel Harver made cringe-worthy sexist comments again demonstrating how disconnected this leadership team is with reality. What is there to investigate? the evidence is right in front of you.

We appreciate your candid feedback. The HR issues you mention are deeply concerning and I'd like to investigate them further and understand why no action was taken as you have outlined. I understand you are a current employee so please reach out directly to me (Chief People Officer). To reassure you, any cases that have been raised with the People Team to date have been fully investigated and appropriate action taken.
