Great cause, terrible leadership

Pros

A compelling cause once you get to the heart of it. Passionate, dedicated friendly team. Great office and central location. Inspiring opportunity to see the impact of their work.

Cons

Senior leadership is problematic as CEO is too involved in minutae of everything and SLT doesn't have any autonomy. A culture of bullying exists in some of the bigger teams. Does not follow HR processes properly, if at all. E.g. Staff dismissed and reason given is they should have seen it coming. Probationary periods appear to be extended based on whether senior person likes you rather than on your probationary objectives. Dreadful communication. Death by meetings.

Pros

Salary, bonuses, and working from home arrangement

Cons

This organisation treats people like commodities in a way I have never experienced before in my life. It was the most dehumanised I have ever felt. They talk a good game when it comes to mental health and team bonding, but you can see the fear in the staff's eyes during every interaction. Show any weakness at all and you will be toast. During my time there the threat of redundancy was held over everyone's heads as if it were their chosen management tool, and to a point it worked! They had people working 12 hour days, played people off against each other for roles that may or may not appear in 6 months time, and hired people knowing they would have to make them redundant. The CEOs absolute single minded approach to their "mission" is at the expense of the health and wellbeing of every single staff member. I don't think he understands the concept of looking after your staff to help get the best out of them. Tears every day, people off sick, having to pay people off due to their mistreatment of them. Tax payers money very poorly spent - they are equipping the Police force with poorly "trained" officers, and lining the pockets of the few at the top.
