About 10% of people I met seemed geniunely happy to be at work. - Analyst Vodafone Employee Review

There is something horribly wrong with the culture here. Most people I met were band/grade obsessed, the people in the senior (non-manager) roles are on a power trips and are in the roles by virtue of the fact they have been there the longest. I kid you not, the fact that half of them are inept and underskilled is seemingly irrelevant. There is a very "attack is the best form of defence" ethos when someone is out of their depth skills/experience wise. Some of the conduct I observed was worse than the sort of stuff that goes on in secondry school and it is ignored and not managed. Even my recruitment experience was very snobby, "you are lucky to even get an interview here you know"... laughable considering I quickly discovered I was over-qualified, over-experienced and bored of the role I was doing. During a 15 year career to date. working here was the worst year of them all by some distance.
