Great colleagues hindered by poor project planning and stress - Anonymous employee Genomics Employee Review

Most projects are poorly planned and lack the necessary resources to succeed. Teams are expected to deliver with unrealistic timelines without adequate staffing. This results in stressful/toxic working conditions and many unpaid overtime working hours. Project managers are aware of these challenges, however, are clearly unable to convey the gravity of poor working conditions to senior leadership which has resulted in inefficiencies and low morale. Inefficiencies mean that the exceptional talent within the science team are not utilised to its maximum potential. Career progression can also feel limited, with unclear development pathways and insufficient opportunities for growth and recognition. There is a noticeable loss of talented employees.
