Pros

Felt positive about role after telephone & face to face interviews. Good induction, entertaining and informative. Office itself in Crowthorne is good light and airy, two kitchenettes on the floor I was on for coffee/tea and heating lunch, one hour for lunch. Working from home during COVID-19 lockdown and being retained while others were furloughed. Good mixture of age/gender amongst staff at Crowthorne House.

Cons

Okay salary but other employee benefits are poor compared other companies in the commercial sector. Merged IT department from the Leaders and Romans sides of business have not fully gelled and have a bit of us and then mentality as well as a blame game for department staff past and present. Management of team is difficult due to multiple leaders on technical & management side who are either too hands off or too hands on verging on micromanagement, some deadlines are too unrealistic or too lenient depending on who you are which is not fair. Could not gel with line manager, made remarks about the time I turned up the office in morning even though I turned up at assumed 9am start. Onsite parking is actually offsite parking requiring mini bus transfer or short walk, parking place lottery on other days unless your turn up before 7am to find a free space. Head office location is a little bit of the beaten track. Company does not trust staff due to leads/sales nature of business & culture.

Thank you for taking your time to leave a review. I'm pleased to read that you enjoyed your induction and the facilities in the office. Parking for Crowthorne House can unfortunately be in limited supply and off site parking is provided with a minibus to the office in order to remedy this. I will pass on the feedback relating to your team to be reviewed. We wish you all the best for the future. Lizzie - HR Department
