      Full of sexism, homophobia, racism...

      Community banker - essential banking
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Nothing. Literally nothing. Everyone hates the place but somehow they choose to stay because of the salary being a pitiful 1k higher than other similar local jobs.

      Cons

      Being sexually harassed and having it swept under the rug is definitely a con here! Unless you enjoy having your experience invalidated, driven to suicidal thoughts, and expected to hop back into the office! An absolute shambles. Management are likely trained to veil the fact that they don't care about you or your situation, and want you to work like battery chickens. But hey free dominos eh! Nepotism is rife here. It's really who you know and how much you suck up. If you love homophobia, then this is the place for you too! Ignore the fancy IDAHOBIT days, a lot of people working here hate equality and make it verbally obvious. Also hearing racist and ableist remarks was an almost daily occurance. Honestly just don't even bother.

      Toxic culture

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Good benefits Good flexible working practices

      Cons

      Horrible culture, based on fear and blame. I witnessed bullying on more than one occasion. It’s very much a face fits culture that doesn’t respect diversity

      Work pressure . Office politics and oudated work culture

      Senior test automation engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is good . Transportation

      Cons

      Work culture. Continuous work pressure on all eployees which may leads to overthing and sleepless nights. Un necessary tasks to occupy team. Office politics is at its pick. If you are tech geek then this place is hell for you. (Here use of jenkin is inovation. ) So many calls where people discuss plans and don't work on it at all. For Automation testers: neither you will get functional understanding nor you will be doing Automation testing. You will end up doing execution and execution of same test cases . You may currently OK with it. Eventually it will lead to frustration and helplessness.
