Senior Management do not listen seriously to concerns or suggestions by staff working at the 'coal face', newer managers brought in do not communicate well with the staff they are meant to be supporting, and also do not have enough technical knowledge to grasp the work carried out by the engineers, leading to painful miscommunication and unrealistic expectations. New managers have a habit of misremembering events and conversations, senior managers and HR do not have the proverbial backs of lower level staff. Generally unsupportive and stiffling environment with poor feedback and support.

Job security is poor. High risk of dismissal for no lawful reason. High turnover of staff, many due to the CEO and his management team. You will be under the control of semi-skilled PMs who have taken the decisions away from the technical teams and subject matter experts and just be run into the ground bashing JIRA ticket in a waterfall manner and have totally unreasonable working conditions and demands placed on you. Totally waterfall with the PMs dictating it all. This is causing the departure of all valuable skilled staff The only people who seem to be allowed to work normally and even take annual leave are the CEO's team. Everyone else is guilted and shamed into working excessively. Any pushback against this will get you fired, and not even in any accordance with UK ERA 1996. Discrimination is rife within the business now, as is bullying. Very sad indeed. A once brilliant company, Overseas staff on visas used extensively, but threatened to have this sponsorship cancelled if they "step out of line".
