Pros
- The non-senior management was really nice (until they all left) - Probably a great place to work if you're a recruiter or in HR and love to be busy
Cons
- I saw several people bullied. - Management took diversity training but it made no difference. - A lot of the technology is old and migration will happen "soon™" - I witnessed an extensive blame culture. - When you try and help improve the company you will be met with sincere interest and no follow-through. - Advice on Senior management hires was sought but always ignored. For example, an interview panel rejected one candidate based on Skills culture and fit, but they were hired anyway, created a dictatorship and left within a year after causing significant disruption and massive attrition. - Roles appeared to be invented to hire friends of Senior management (Who left after a year) - Personal financial gains seem to outweigh the interest of the business. - As far as I understand the direction of the company was around getting and distributing farm/farmer's data. Which I don't agree with. - Exit interviews are not offered to everyone, I believe they don't want to hear some people's opinions. - Name change from AgSpace to Origin Digital I assume to ignore it's history. - The CIO has a "Wait and see" attitude which my experience was just letting everything spiral out of control and not taking any action even when the company is a shell of its former self. - I'm sure there are more things that I've not listed
