Pros

1. Great Place to work. 2. Good Work life Balance. 3. Good Pay

Cons

The team environment deteriorated significantly under current management. Employees were routinely pressured to work Saturdays without additional compensation, creating serious concerns around employee welfare and labor laws. Management behavior was highly unprofessional at times, including discussing other employees behind their backs and spending excessive office hours on personal conversations unrelated to work. This negatively affected productivity, team morale, and overall workplace culture. What made the situation more disappointing was that the team previously operated in a collaborative and respectful environment under earlier leadership. Several employees experienced increased stress and frustration due to the change in management style. Senior leadership should pay closer attention to team culture, employee treatment, and managerial accountability before more talent leaves the organization.

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.
