Pros

- Decent rewards package - CEO has great ambitions but her vision isn't translated throughout the business - Annual pay review/ bonus (dependent on company performance) - Costa on site (Coventry)

Cons

- Awful culture, especially within the HR New talent and Resourcing team, managers gossip about employees and there's a massive issue with a bullying culture. I've experienced multiple employees leaving or been forced out due to the clique-like behavior of managers. - Nepotism is rife - Corporate virtue signaling- they preach about diversity and inclusion but they're very discriminative in practice. Make those who aren't able bodied/ POC/ religious feel excluded and isolated at work. - Unfair recruitment process (hiring managers will already know who they're hiring for the role but will interview anyway to give the impression of a 'fair and inclusive process') - No WFH flexibility- archaic mentality that full time office work is essential - No flexibility for people with children - No parking at the head office - Chief Engineer HRBP and wider HR teams have no regard for employee satisfaction, they work to protect the business rather than the needs of the employee. - Poorly run new talent programmes: no mentor, no support finding off-scheme roles, inefficient line manager training - insufferable office culture - Can't be yourself at work - I've personally experienced sexist remarks from operational staff and microaggressions and covert discrimination from Office managers.
