Pros
- SOME of their technology is good
Cons
Where to start with Evertz, especially in the UK. - Awful Management. So called "Senior" managers and "Directors" are all super best-friends. If you are below them then you pretty much useless, worthless and incredibly undervalued. They shout at you, refer you to as "incompetent" and bang their fists on the table in a show of supposed power and an "I'm bigger and better than you" mentality all whilst expecting you to give them everything you have. - Pay and Benefits are VERY LOW. If you are looking for a below average salary with next to no benefits, flexibility and no compassion if your unwell then Evertz is the place to go. Salary is below average for most staff (unless your best friends with the boss) and getting a pay rise is like getting blood out of a stone. Don't expect them to show empathy or compassion if your unwell as you get barely any sick days and your boss won't check your okay when/if you return to work, even if it was life threatening. Flexibility is nonexistent and if you ask to work from home, have time in lieu or overtime go in with the mind of 'no' is the answer and you won't be disappointed. - Lots of Favouritism and Back-Stabbing If something goes wrong they look for someone to blame instantly. There are no investigations and they will say one thing to your face but the next minute there is a knife in your back. If your lucky enough to be that 1 in 100 that are liked by senior management expect favouritism for you but no one else and expect everyone to see you as the "managers pet". - No Contact from the CEO In a business of 1200+ on a global scale you would expect that there would be some contact from the CEO... think again. I only knew who the CEO was because I googled it. There was not one email from the CEO about business performance, business direction, wishing people a happy holidays over Xmas etc. - IT Systems are FAILING The IT systems are failing left, right and centre and the team is tiny, entirely understaffed and undervalued. It lacks investment and unless it comes from the pound shop any new kit will not be signed off. There are no standards in the department, no documentation and a complete lack of morale to actually fix anything. - Offices are Dirty The office space, toilets and kitchens were filthy. There was a mice infestation at the second Winnersh office and the business refused to get proper pest controllers in to clear the problem and sanitise desk properly. Even though there was evidence of mice dropping and urine on desks they still wouldn't get them disinfected correctly and you are expected to work in those conditions regardless of if it will make you unwell.
