Filled with brilliant people, nice office, some good opportunities to learn. Some good perks like free cereal.

Inconvénients

Visualsoft is a company that has outgrown its directors and senior management. The decisions taken undermine staff morale, make the job harder, KPIs are extremely difficult to hit. The flexi-time and unlimited holidays is a PR stunt to encourage more employees. Visualsoft view success as increased turnover and how many staff you can employee to release a press release about. Unhappy clients are swept under the carpet, prices are constantly put up. Internal communication has gone massively downhill over the last few years. The directors are used to managing a small company that has now exploded, and have no idea how to keep the company functioning with over 200 staff. Communication has shrivelled up, there's no overall direction. Teams change every month, but it's like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. When I joined, the company was vibrant, staff were happy and engaged. Now the atmosphere is terrible. The open-plan office hasn't contributed to communication, but it makes everyone feel they're being watched. People leave feeling stressed, don't feel like they can take time off because they're over-worked and in a lot of departments, underpaid. I'd consider very carefully before joining this company, as the last 18 months it has moved massively in the wrong direction.

Hi and thank you for your feedback. First of all, I'm sorry that you feel a negative outlook towards Visualsoft. This isn't something we want from anyone, but we are certainly willing to take on board your feedback and work through the points that you've raised. It's great to see that you've recognised the brilliant people at Visualsoft and the offices along with the opportunity to learn. We certainly haven't brought in the flexible working and unlimited holidays in as a PR stunt, but we did so in order to relax the usual strict 9-5 Monday to Friday working hours that we used to have in place. This has led to people being able to work more in a way that suits their lifestyle. We've recognised more recently that the approach for KPI's and flexible working can differ from team to team as the department managers have their own unique styles of working with it. We are going to be addressing that in the coming months by setting some further guidelines and training for each manager. This should in turn lead to the knowledge being shared and the positives taken from each department. As for your comments on our growing staff numbers, I know it can at times feel like we are growing faster more recently, but just to reassure you, we are growing at the same rate as we always have been and it's in line with our business plans too. I do agree with your point of listening to the staff and it is something that we really try to promote across the business as much as possible. Both giving staff the opportunity to give feedback and us having the ability to take it on board and take action based on it too. We are certainly not perfect, but always have a genuine interest in taking all points of view on board and making sure we can make improvements as often as possible. Thanks again for your feedback. Emma - HR
