As with any large company, navigating change can take time Fast-paced environment may not suit everyone

The salary isn't competitive, and opportunities for progression are very limited unless someone leaves the team. Even then, internal competition is high, so it could take years to move up. There's an unspoken expectation to go 'above and beyond' just to be considered for promotion, even if you're already performing exceptionally well. Ongoing lay-offs and constant restructuring create a persistent sense of uncertainty, which affects morale across the business. There is a hybrid workplan in place meaning we need to be in the office 3 days per week now, and although it's flexible, some have been given set days to come in by their managers which seems unfair. I do really feel for other employees especially those with childcare and caring responsibilities. Managers are now tracking IP addresses to understand who is not adhering to the new policy which has sparked mixed feelings. Recent internal comms have criticised employees for “wasting energy” by challenging the hybrid framework - yet significant time and resources are being spent building dashboards to track office attendance. It feels like the focus has shifted from supporting productivity and wellbeing to simply managing physical presence.
