Where do I start? The most stressful work environment I have ever experienced. Micro-management / classroom environment, unsociable working hours, constant change of priorities, lack of trust from management. The second the working environment gets a bit calmer or normal, management come down on you like hyenas and shift priorities around again.
If you want to progress here, management still have the 1980’s mentality of being chained to your desk every night until 8-9pm (to the point of exhaustion). Doing the same job from home (i.e. more flexibility) doesn’t count. They want bodies on the ground. If you leave punctually you get that disapproving look of disgust as if you are the biggest slacker in the world.
Would rather be on unemployment benefits than go back here. If you want work/life balance and work in an environment where you feel empowered, trusted and made feel that you can do it your way and in your time, this is not the place for you. The closest thing to boot camp I have ever experienced.
To add insult to injury they feed you at Quarter End with fast food and junk food and expect you to be grateful for it, at the expense of your public holidays, weekends and late evenings of course.
Don’t let the benefits fool you, stay away from this place.
