Pros

Good people that undertake the work Flexible office working Good response to remote work during the COVID pandemic Heavy cloud commitment

Cons

Matrix organization Promotion is based upon length of service rather than capability to do the job, leading to demoralized team members Lip service paid by HR when attempting to raise concerns (e.g. attitude of management, bulling, harassment) Mediocre pay reviews/increases Industry pay review alignment hasn't been completed after almost 18 months - attempts to question this are brushed off by management and HR as "not important to the day to day business" Antiquated systems/technology Resources (time, money, people) are wasted on reinventing old practices rather than a clean sheet approach Most of the senior management have spent their working lives here, and any new ways of working are immediately disregarded as not fit for purpose Accountability by the layers of management is almost none - anything escalated is ignored or generally swept under the carpet.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
