Pros

The fact the job is remote

Cons

Lots of concerns here A new hire joined at the start of the year - Nothing more than a bully, mocking another team member after they were signed off for mental health reasons and having pointless meetings to inflate their own ego & forcing employees to request approval when moving around the UK (The role is remote so don't know why that is an issue). A non accountant being appointed as accounting manager over a fully qualified accountant (The person subsequently left). Since January 24 - All people from minority backgrounds have left the said team(one hire was only there for a few months) this doesn't seem like a coincidence considering all other member of finance are not from ethnic backgrounds.

Pros

I still get to work with the team I was acquired with (those who weren't unceremoniously canned at least).

Cons

-Insists on a hyper rigid corporate model, and it shows everywhere. In product development, leadership, HR. There's so much bureaucracy and rigidity in getting an answer to anything and all it means at the end of the day is that everyone you go to for help or clarification will pass the buck to the next guy. -Zero regard for employees as people. These people are cheap cheap cheap. It shows in salaries and benefits (worst US medical premium coverage I've ever seen), but also in subjecting employees to using terrible outdated tools, and in laying people off at a moment's notice with no regard for them or the workloads of those left behind. HR/People team where it seems like nobody knows what to do or how to help; everything is someone else's job. -It is a mess internally. It's a company made up of 20+ other products/brands, and nobody's talking to each other because nobody even can talk to each other. Everyone's on different systems, different payroll, different Slack, different Teams, two different versions of every policy, it's a joke. -It's depressing as hell watching them buy up other companies, fire half of them, and suck the soul out of those left behind. -I had a job I loved before we merged with Xplor. It's been less than a year here now and I cannot get out of here fast enough.
