Pros

Talented individuals to work with unfortunately, they do not stay for long.

Cons

The CEO of our company seems to only care about his exit strategy & maximizing the leadership team profit. The company does not have a bonus scheme in place which is 2 years overdue however, you will find that after company acquisition, certain people got a bonus. New hires that were promised did not receive one either. Refusal or slow response when there is an urgent need for a Software. Any hardware/software you might need to do your job is hard to get by often resulting in thousands of pounds of billable hours being wasted and working longer hours (Slack, Design tools etc). They hate people working from home and placed a policy of only 5 days per year. If you don't trust your employees, then why hire them in the first place? The company used to claim they are a 'People first company' but only offer 5 days sick leave. People are forced to either work from home or come into work because they cannot afford to miss out on pay. So many people have been promised a lot of things however, they failed to deliver. The company has a high turnover, many senior folks have left just before Christmas 2019 and yet to be replaced. Certain Managers are underpaid. Second in command who reports to the CEO is very manipulative and cannot be trusted.

Thank you for sharing your experience at WONGDOODY. The CEO referenced here is no longer with the company and the culture is responding very well to the change in leadership, due to the “talented individuals” you reference.
