No team culture, every one works in silos. Training is non existent as are inductions for new staff unless you count having to watch hours of videos that aren’t relevant to your role/country of employment. Holiday entitlement is the bare minimum Goals & performance metrics for the year only published in June Communication from leaders is poor, townhalls frequently rescheduled or cancelled at last minute Toxic behavior of certain employees is tolerated Obsessed with metrics over delivering quality products. Staff turnover is high, particularly in first year There’s a culture of underestimating client requests in order to secure work then everyone being under immense pressure to deliver - working until 2am, weekends, days off etc. Most people are miserable in their jobs and uncertain of their futures, does not make for a pleasant work environment. Staff are not valued, treated like commodities FNZ’s biggest problem is their CEO - he’s a toxic megalomaniac who is directly responsible for the awful work environment. His hubris will be the company’s downfall. He lacks the people skills to motivate staff so instead he leads through fear. Calling individual employees out that he deems to be underperforming at company wide town halls is disgusting behaviour from a leader. He is on record as saying that he doesn’t care about employee well being and the only people of value are those who are willing to work every hour of the day and if you don’t like it you know where the door is. He recently sent an email to all staff threatening to fire people on the spot if they weren’t in the office three days a week, the fact that this illegal in several jurisdictions that the mail was sent to seems lost on him. He subsequently request photographs of staff in offices as evidence, he clearly doesn’t care about GDPR either. They are going through their second round of redundancies in 6 months, in total 15% of the workforce has been shed. In my 20+ year career I’ve never seen a redundancy program managed like this, no consultancy period, no announcement of what roles are going, no plan for how key client facing rolls will be filled.
