Rapid expansion at the expense of values
Pros
* Free lunches * Cycle-to-work scheme * Free eye tests (if still running)
Cons
The company expanded too fast, acquiring multiple businesses with established ways of working - only to force mismatched integration without meaningful support or planning. Redundancies followed, but instead of redistributing resources fairly, remaining staff were expected to absorb the extra workload with no pay increase or recognition. More concerning is the culture: a lack of authenticity an integrity across all levels of the organisation. Decisions feel profit-driven, not mission-led, which came at the cost of both employee wellbeing - and more troubling - the needs of the children the company claims to serve. If you're considering working here, ask hard questions about values, transparency, and how growth is managed.
