Pros
Met some really great colleagues, who I now call friends.
Cons
It is absolutely true about the volume of redundancies! Any CEO who has to explicitly state the he does not have the intention of firing anyone on his upcoming visit, is only further highlighting the fact that he is notorious for exhibiting tyrant behaviour... only to follow it with making over 40 people redundant globally a week later. Ansarada's financial management is appalling- employing people only to make them redundant within the month, leaving them to pick up the pieces of their dire financial situations with no support. Ansarada promised that people who were made redundant would receive suitable compensation- this was not the case, hardworking members of staff were insulted by the bare legal minimum! Salt in the wound of being made redundant effective immediately. In addition to their financial oversight, the CFO and CEO also insulted the intelligence of their 'valued' employees who saw all of this coming... from unpaid commissions, to frequent changes in the attainability of targets and filtering pressure from the top. The financial situation was obvious to everyone except the CFO who apparently was incapable of forecasting such financial issues. A whimpering apology and the minimum legal requirement in compensation is all that staff received after being put under immense pressure during the months leading up to the redundancies. It is a major insult to see that the company is now HIRING when yet again, THEY CANNOT AFFORD IT!
