Fixing the door whilst the house is burning
Pros: Base Pay is not bad though bonus scheme is farce. Nice enough colleagues. Training system is very good, but when you actually seek resource to go and win some business its not available and the process is dire.
Cons: Leadership have clearly lost the plot, obsessed with trying to push Hybrid Cloud when the horse has bolted and already several valleys away with hyperscale providers. Internal process is shocking using lotus notes and Atlas, having to use a password t log in repeatedly to the same applications. Internal sales process is painful and the admin cost to get any sale out of the door is a joke. Not prepared to take people of fee earning work to develop decent bids so you end up with a bench of staff not skilled in the areas you actually need, so you lose the bid. No competitive targets being hit because of this as the A Team is never available and at best you get the C or D team. Management obsess about the current QTR whilst walking towards a cliff edge as no new work being won, But most don't care as will move on promotion or retire with bonus from core work. More obsessed with measuring diversity than addressing the real problems that need real investment like decent CRM and basic email system that works.
