This organisation is okay in the London HQ office, Southampton (former HQ) and Manchester, but the regional offices seemed to suffer through a lack of 'favouritism'. Because we did not have the resources to win work in the surounding region, we would work on the London based projects which that office did not pick to do themselves. This has a knock on effect on opportunties to learn in your role and longenity within the company.
The Organisation changed all "benefits" so that they would be deducted from the employees pre-tax pay. The only benefit is not paying tax, but you still had to do this for the Dental Insurance. It was a sly way of cutting costs.
The Organisation's annual appraisal is linked to pay rises and bonus so your luck greatly depends on your department and line manager. Often this would be an excuse to give only sub inflation rises when a promotion was due.
The Organisation seemed to have a recruitment drive for overheads staff. The only noticeable change was that these new positions were instructed to cut costs. One of their triumphs was to move the date at which the annual pay rise from April to June and fob off staff that this was for their benefit.
High turnover of Staff and little regard from management how this means that you can stagnate in your role also.
