Poor culture and atmosphere

Business Outlook

Pros

The people and office are nice. You are eligible to join the pension after 2 years of employment. You contribute 5% and the company will contribute 7.5%.

Cons

The culture has done a 180 in 2024 due to layoffs, large budget cuts and shift to focus on the bottom line with a disregard for the wellbeing of staff. Bonuses are low (generally under 10%) and the healthcare plans available through Laya (with partial reimbursement) aren't very good (only employees are covered). Your annual leave is often disregarded and you will be asked to amend or not take leave due to POTENTIAL client opportunities. Year end goals are often changed so you may think you have done well and then be blind sided when it comes to annual increases and bonuses.

Pros

Good social club. Lower level colleagues generally support each other.

Cons

The whole year is a continuous deadline. The pay is terrible. Senior personnel are completely out of touch, even with all of their studies of results of constant employee questionnaires. Management are good accountants, not particularly good at managing people.
