Pros

Does anyone think it odd that after the company has embarked on an Ill thought through restructure with skilled senior people losing their jobs in favour of promoting people who don't say anything the senior management won't like, that a string of positive reviews suddenly appear?

Cons

Control and command leadership sadly from people who do not understand the business they are running.

Pros

- Some of the teams are great - Some great people - Some of the benefits are good - London office space is fantastic - There's flexibility to move roles/teams if you want it - Methods does have a good reputation in some industries/clients

Cons

- Internally CEO approval is very low, no one I know rates Peter - There's no leadership behaviour at all from the top - We hardly ever hear/see anything of any senior leaders - The only strategy is high utilisation and higher margins - Lots of the work is boring - Lots of the work is body shoping - It's an uninspiring place to work - Everyone in the SLT is white - Almost all the SLT is male - Interest in diversity and inclusion is tokenistic - The HR team has fallen apart and has been absent for too long - For some it's a never ending bid factory - Progression is very limited for most - It's like working for a company stuck in the 1980s in many ways

Thank you for taking the time to review your employment at Methods. We agree and are proud that Methods has a good reputation with our clients and a fabulous London office space. It’s great to see so many people making use of this space after the pandemic. Methods’ professional resourcing offering (body shopping) has been the backbone of the business for over 30 years, and we are very proud of high-quality capability and expertise we deliver to our clients You have raised some concerns around the diversity and inclusion within the team, and we would encourage you to come and speak to HR regarding this as this is something we take seriously and are constantly improving. We ensure all our team complete training in this area annually, and we support our diversity, inclusion & equity working group who regularly meet. Thank for your comments regarding the Senior Leadership Team, again we would encourage you to speak to us about this and share your thoughts. Methods’ HR team underwent significant change at the start of the year, and we have subsequently invested more in this area as we recognise that is pivotal in supporting the development of our employees and the growth of the business. If you would like to discuss this further, do please contact me via feedback@methods.co.uk

Pros

There are some lovely people at Methods, many of whom are very bright and have good futures ahead of them (likely at another organisation). There are some people at a senior level with a genuine passion for what they do but they are outnumbered by those who don't.

Cons

There is a culture of bullying that stems from the top - the CEO. Senior staff engage in bullying and are allowed to do so. Harassment is rife. There are senior men within Methods who leer and make lewd remarks to women. Nothing is ever done about this, it is seen as the norm. There does not appear to be a clear strategy. The company continually goes through change and it achieves nothing except chaos. Morale in many parts of the business is very low but management is oblivious to this. Pay is well below the average within the industry. There is a very high attrition rate. Huge back office which is inefficient. Many senior managers are not fit for purpose. Little career development.
