A weird place - Anonymous employee Medical Protection Society Employee Review

A bizarre company with an odd culture that doesn't trust is staff or anyone to do the job. Approval routes for even the lowest form of action includes a minimum of 6 people. They have around 100 committes (for only 2,000 staff) so no one can make a decision or is empowered to do so. For any kind of IT request there is a 10 day turn around time, god forbid they make you go to a committee and write a business case - and i'm talking very simple requests. Overall a very bizarre place to work with an odd culture that is stuck in the past. For example its perfectly reasonable to travel via first class (on the members dime) and they look down on dress-down Fridays in case staff get reckless!?!
