Pros
Great people in regional offices, at the coal face
Cons
I worked with some amazing people during my time, who bonded over a common viewpoint of the "People and Culture" team who seem to be really interested in not looking after either of those things, and and Exec and Tech leadership who only like to hear their own voices saying how wonderful they are This company lost its way big time. It has become profit over people, and so many good people have been lost along the way. A reckoning is coming and I don't want to be a part of it. If you want to wait months, sometimes years for a performance or pay review - Join Squiz If you want to work remotely, but be excluded from any or all social activities but watch Exec fly around and around the world multiple times on pointless junkets, Join Squiz If you want to be promised a review of employee benefits by HR, which are then not talked about again years later keeping everyone in the dark and out of pocket - Join Squiz If you want to work on antiquated tech or even "amazing" new products that don't work, are half finished, or poorly conceived or are at best undocumented - Join Squiz If you want no formal approach to professional development and training, training budgets, or home office setup allowances - Join Squiz If you want your exec to ignore (mostly in a hostile way) most requests / input on product improvement resulting in a full decade of failed, half finished, or mothballed product delivery (and no repercussions) just to keep themselves in a job - Join Squiz If you want a CEO that calls other "favourite" team members other cute little nicknames in saccharine echo chamber monthly all hands meetings, but ignores other employees when they raise anything that doesn't conform to the glowing company line, or a vision of perfection. That picks favourites in a nepotistic merry go round (including promotion). Who ghosts and bullies those with conflicting views to his own warped self obsessed and unhinged view, join Squiz If you want to look after your mental and physical health, to not stagnate in your career, to not burn out, to be recognised for your work, and paid fairly (including review). if you want to have your HR department leading great company culture, initiatives, events, social activities, employee benefits, and team cohesion. If you want a CEO that doesn't play favourites, and only likes good news, who doesnt swear and curse and beat people up, look to any other company but Squiz. You have been warned.
