Committed colleagues, but serious issues with HR support and management culture - werkgeversreview 1st line service desk engineer bij Exponential-e

Good atmosphere within th company. Company is constantly on the rise looking at new technology. Has potential to become huge

Political. Unrealistic targets . Due to it being a privately held company there are a lot of shortcuts and unfair treatment of newer staff

The business has some very special people who are a delight to work with. Some try hard to create an environment where you feel valued and supported. There are some that have been there a very long time.

There is a lot of smoke and mirrors. Champagne tastes with lemonade pockets. Completely unrealistic expectations. Complete lack of understanding of some sectors. A Management Team who can be completely detached from those below them. The reason for the title of this review is because from January next Year the Employment Rights Act changes and all employees will have full employment rights from Day 1. this means that the right the emplyer has and uses to get rid of you at their will before you have served them for two years goes and it will no longer be possible for companies like this to use a PILON Clause to exit you out of the business. They will also struggle to exit people and leave people that have delivered exactly the same performance still employed. This change to your rights is critical. For far too long Companies like Exponential-e have been able to simply "exit" people from the business in their first two years knowing that they have little or no employment rights.
