-Disgusting treatment of employees from the ivory towers of HR and/or upper management;
----Promised for specific flexible working requirements were made and agreed at both the interview and start of employment as inducement to join MHR over other competitive job offers. After 6 weeks, HR turned around and said any of this flexibility I had used was a breach of my contract and used it to sack me from the company. There was no warning, no conversations, no PIP. A disgusting example of employee abuse.
-Outdated dress code and rules;
----Dress code is wildly outdated. Compulsory full suit and tie for software engineers? Outdated and sexist specifications within the dress code such as "any ear piercings are for women only.
-Top-down poor business wide decision making with no understanding of how it impacts the largest part of the company
----Management at the top is prone to making decisions that impact the entire workforce negatively without any warning or accommodations. For example, when the government scrapped WFH the company announced after lunch that every single employee is mandatorily required to attend the office 5 days a week as of the next day, regardless of issues with child-care issues or local agreements. Staff were forced to place flexible working forms that took weeks to be addressed and a lot of staff weren't even eligible for them to be considered.
Avoid this job at all costs as a software engineer. The company has been subject to more than one large walkout of engineering staff and they will no doubt me subject to more.
