      Pros

      All of my colleagues are lovely, always trying their best and want to help as much as they can. There is flexibility in working arrangements and remote working is available to most.

      Cons

      The workload is incredibly high, everyone is stressed and burnout is common. Below average pay. Management use bullying tactics. Progression is non existent. The promised career framework is shaping up to be a tick box exercise, as you can't progress as there are no jobs to progress to. Constant change and usually for the worse. Micromanagement, sexism, mixed messages and unrealistic targets are becoming the norm. Flexible working not offered to new starters. Painful meetings where everyone feels ignored are routine.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. While all comments are important to us, I am particularly concerned to learn that you have experienced sexism. This behaviour is entirely unacceptable and does not reflect our values or the culture we strive to uphold at System C. I would encourage you to contact me or Tanya, our Chief HR Officer, at your earliest convenience so that we can understand the situation and take appropriate action. Nick

      Pros

      The only pro is the remote / hybrid working.

      Cons

      I could write a lot on this, but the two biggest challenges within the company are: 1. Disorganized processes and slow decision making. Operations felt chaotic, more like the downside of a start-up than the upside. Decisions moved slowly, inefficiencies were everywhere and few people seemed empowered or accountable to fix them. The technology, infrastructure, and ways of working often felt outdated and unnecessarily manual. 2. A People team lacking credibility and capability. From leadership down, the People function appeared out of depth. Initiatives such as career frameworks and progression tools being introduced felt more like surface level exercises than meaningful strategies. Despite the talk of being “people focused,” the execution of any initiatives lacked clarity, consistency and genuine understanding of what employees actually need.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m pleased our remote / hybrid working suited you, but I’m sorry that other aspects of your time did not meet your expectations. We recognise that some of our processes and tools have been too manual and slow. As we integrate our group of companies into one organisation, we’re investing in clearer processes, better systems and sharper ownership so decisions move faster. You’ve also raised concerns about our People team and career development. Our career frameworks are currently in the design and build phase to create greater transparency, with a communicated deadline of the end of our financial year. Alongside this, we’ve introduced Development Planning, Squiggly Careers training and toolkits, and a mentoring programme to support colleagues with their career development. We appreciate your honesty and will use this feedback as we continue to improve. Tanya
