Flexible work arrangements but toxic management culture - Data Scientist Virgin Atlantic Employee Review

- Overworked, over-stressed senior and management teams lead to even more overworked, overstressed juniors. - Certain company executives/strategist resistant to either advice, change, or considerations that they need to evaluate their approach. - Poor escalation of real criticisms and concerns within teams. Lots of "here's what we've done" dashboards and talks with very little actual action. - Management is inescapably white and male, and this is unfortunately a rubric of the company culture; especially wrt working with others, this leads to obtrusiveness with escalating or dealing with issues ("I'm handling it" or "We can push through it" are given as covers for extremely poor time management and intra-team organisation. The idea of allotting tasks effectively is foreign.) - Extremely common for work to go home with staff and for there to be a "go further" mentality (translation: we aren't going to check in with you in a timely manner, but your workload will incrementally increase until you're compacted under it]. - Definitely a buddy-buddy team. Some colleagues will definitely be curt and dismissive to some, especially juniors, and almost fawning over colleagues and seniors. Not good for morale or fairness.
