Pros

The staff, and people you work for are all in the same boat (most of them) so you all feel that you get to know everyone quite well. Built some strong relationships whilst there.

Cons

Well..... now i'm out I ca write the truth! Best Companies - is a farce - your told that you WILL be completing the survey and made to sit in a meeting room with sweets, chocolates, lovely refreshments, music of your choice I the back ground... all whilst watching you ensuring you do the survey, and everything is as nice as pie! "Do you feel coerced into your answers for this survey?" - yeah but I daren't say it! If your not in the IN CROWD is doesn't matter how much work and effort you put in, as the person in the clique will be the one that gets the promotion whilst you do all their heavy lifting! no interview required! DP's Happy training - you having a laugh! it was all brain washing crap, if you don't do this , don't do that you get a letter of concern and a bonus deduction, knowledge tests that would lose you money. They wanted YES people and when you challenged anything (the blueprint says you can challenge), you were being disruptive and would have some from of HR meeting. Do as I want you to do, and then when we find out your way was better we'll say management came up with the idea! A colleague told me when they left it was like leaving an abusive relationship - you wanted it so badly to work as you had all this love for your teammates, but then it all comes crashing down by Management - who don't have a clue what they are doing - except for treating you like children. Phew that feels better - like counselling!

Thanks for the feedback below. I am sorry to read your comments after 5 years with us. There are numerous opportunities for honest feedback provided to all of our People, feedback which we take seriously and use to contribute to our Strategy. The annual Best Companies survey is one of the most valuable mechanisms we use and one which takes a prominent role in our annual calendar. The anonymity and reach of this survey makes it especially useful for us as we continue to strive to be a Great Place to Work. Feedback of the day is that people enjoy the music, refreshments, huddles and pub-club, and I am sorry to hear that you didn’t feel the same. Likewise with our Award Winning Happiness Training, which over the years has provided popular and beneficial to those both inside and outside of Chess. Please do feel free to reach out if you wish to discuss further and good luck in your next role.
