Innovative and Fast Moving

Pros

One thing is for sure it is never dull here and it really keeps you on your toes. I am always very interested in the innovation and strategy and it is good that there is more communication going on all round, it really helps. I would rate the people here on all levels very highly.I had a personal problem a while back and I was moved by the sympathy I received and reassurance from the management. Historically there were very few resignations here so it is understandable that those who had to go recently might be upset but companies do go through restructures and granted it does make things insecure for a while. I've been through redundancy before and it is was no different there. There aren't many other fast moving and innovative companies like this in the area. Even though there is always room for improvement I am giving 5 stars because here on glassdoor where the grumpy seem to congregate - that's what it deserves.

Cons

Slow communication can create rumors and some misunderstanding but that seems to be improving now.

Was great, now soul-destroying

Pros

Sadly, now there are no longer any pros

Cons

Disgraceful treatment of loyal and hard-working staff: unscrupulous behaviour, tormenting employees, with no consideration for their human feelings - these same employees who initially helped to build this once-thriving company, only to see it sink to the pits and to be treated like dirt. Heartless, soul-destroying, it's obvious that this sinking ship will go down. Get ashore and watch them sink.

The end is nigh

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with some talented, wonderful individuals at Switch, granted, all on the sub-management level. Free parking. Free fruit, with some dry sarnies and rabbit food chucked in. Oh, and a couple of beanbags.

Cons

Literally no idea where to start. Mass redundancies, with seemingly no thought as to who goes, no proper scoring procedure. No pension. No bonus, no payrises unless you're one of the very few 'face that fit' people who threaten to leave. No training. Very little prospects of working your way up through the company. Majority of management seem to be there by luck. Absolutely no interest in listening to the staff.
