Desventajas
There is some blatant brown nosing and favouritism which means you will only get promoted and treated fairly with day-to-day work based on who you know and who you drink with. The people who say this has not been their experience are probably part of that culture. This leads to extremely inexperienced team managers who may be somewhat good/average at their job but lack crucial communication and management skills. More importantly, some leaders/managers have fostered an extremely unprofessional and toxic environment promoting gossip, negative chatter and passive aggression towards their own team members. As time passed by I felt more and more like I was in high school surrounded by cliques rather than working with other professionals and this made it extremely difficult to concentrate on day-to- day work. From what I heard, HR have been told about this repeatedly especially in exit inverviews but have failed to do anything about this. It is a serious shame that my experience of working here has been overshadowed by the negativity and I really wish it hadn't as it hasn't all been bad (especially at the start when I didn't notice these issues) and again I know that it was not like this for every person. Unfortunately, due to poor team management and unprofessionalism which seems to have seeped into the fabric of the culture, I chose to leave. However, I hope it changes so that it can truly become a 'people first' culture for my ex-collegauges and anyone who wishes to work here in the future.
