Pros

- Talented and capable colleagues at local / middle management level - Freedom to disconnect

Cons

Since the business decided to merge with our sister company in 2024, there has since been an impressive destruction of company culture. What was once a fulfilling place to work, has quickly descended into a dystopian nightmare. - Disconnect between senior leadership and reality = 'Do more with less' - Not listening to employee feedback - Rather than senior leadership coming up with a plan to address concerns, they ask for middle management to come up with action plans of how to resolve, when the problem is senior leadership themselves - Removal of flexible working and mandatory 5 day RTO for 'productivity' - No clear 5 year plan for future beyond 'cost cutting' - Removal of training and development department = no opportunities for career growth - Senior directors incapable of making a decisive decision - Capable employees often overlooked for senior positions in favour of 'yes-people' - Questionable decision making favouring Sweden based employees rather than the best people for the job.
