Pros

The other engineers were friendly

Cons

I was discriminated against due to my disability An Access to Work Workplace Assessment was completed which gave the company a list of reasonable adjustments to make. The reasonable adjustments were not made. They refused to make reasonable adjustments such as buying equipment to allow me to complete my duties. I was forced to carry my personal equipment to and from the office daily, this caused damage to my equipment. HR and manager lied to me when I asked about updates on the reasonable adjustments, my manager told me HR was in the process of purchasing the equipment, yet HR told me the line manager told them I did not need the equipment anymore. I injured my wrist due to the lack of reasonable adjustment. HR did not want to add my injuries to the accident logbook. HR dared to give me medical advice on my condition that went against the advice of the healthcare specialists I was seeing. I was let go just before the end of my probation period. They claimed I was not able to complete my duties. I agree, I could not complete my duties without reasonable adjustments.

Zaizi hasn’t hired any WebOps engineers for about 4 years and we have all been working remotely for over 20 months, so I’m not sure when this event happened - perhaps it’s the wrong organisation? If it was Zaizi, I am sorry for your experience. Employee wellbeing has always been key for us. We follow the correct procedures with regards to logging incidents and following up on requests for equipment and adapting our ways of working. Zaizi offers everyone £250 to buy any equipment they need to adapt to working from home. Take a look at our ‘It’s OK to’ poster to get a window into how the team is always trying to find ways to help and support each other. We are always looking to improve, so please do get in touch so we can get some feedback to understand what we could do to improve.

Varied projects to challenge everyone Good career progression

Cons

Smaller consultancy means that one sometimes has to hop around quite a bit to get stuff done - but that's also a pro sometimes
