People (HR) Team - Only apply if you have a thick skin or are willing to sell your soul!
Pros
Great bonus for office staff. Canteen is nice and staff who work in there are really friendly.
Cons
High expectations. Low staff morale and high staff turnover in the People Team. It used to be fun working here, but due to the behaviours of the leadership team (constant criticism, rudeness, bullying into doing other people's work, blame culture and lack of appreciation of those who work hard and contribute a lot), it is not a pleasant place to work. Very cliquey. Leadership team promote and give high pay rises to people on the basis of their relationships with them, instead of ability or contribution. They blatantly either ignore, or constantly find fault with people they don't like. Too much manager discretion: Some people work long hours, whereas other people leave the office when they please. The end result is that there are a select few smiley faces but mostly grumpy people who are exhausted and stressed out. Those who refuse to put up with it are managed out, or resign (sometimes with no other job to go to). It is such a shame as we've lost some very talented people in recent months.
