Avantages
Many employees in non-management roles are highly capable and take pride in the quality of their work.
Inconvénients
The company culture is heavily influenced by the Head of HR, with HR involvement often feeling punitive rather than supportive. This can create an environment where employees feel pressured to leave rather than supported to improve or develop. Progression and promotion opportunities appear limited and are not always based on performance or merit. Advancement often seems to favour a small group of individuals. While the company is growing rapidly, the additional workload generated by this growth is frequently absorbed by existing staff, rather than being supported through increased resourcing. Constructive or negative feedback is not consistently welcomed and, in some cases, employees feel it may be used against them rather than to drive improvement. The employee engagement survey is presented as anonymous; however, in smaller teams the demographic breakdown (age, gender, department) makes it easy to identify individuals, which discourages honest feedback. Although progression is verbally encouraged, it can be difficult to achieve in practice due to limited opportunities and unclear pathways. There is a continued focus on hiring senior or upper-management roles, while the greatest need for additional support appears to be within operational and functional teams.
