Pros

Before we got sold to 5GN, we had a great culture. We all helped each other, and stayed late to work but were appreciated of our efforts. I was there for 3 years. We got the support from Team leader and Group director and even General manager at the time.

Cons

Once we got sold to 5G Networks, many people left. They stopped rehiring, and therefore all clients were not looked after. They kept reallocating them to whomever was left to manage them. There were also a period where no work was getting done for our clients as we didnt have any SEO tech team. 5GN stopped investing in the digital sector yet they didnt want to sell us to companies who were interested in us. They just wanted to get the monthly retainer of clients who were in contract at the time, even though no work was getting done. The new bosses had no female leaderships. They were pretty much living in the 1980s way of working. If they hired a new person in a role, they would give that person other tasks that were outside of their expertise, and if that person couldn't fulfill that additional task, the CEO will just fire them, yes CEO and not the persons direct manager. This company was built as a family business, and that mentality of having "small family business" did not change as the company grew and became public.
