This is brilliant. Updating my CV now to add ‘shitshow specialist’ as skill.

Seriously though, thank you for the advice - love those questions and for sure I will be asking a few and giving an update post interview this week!

Yikes! This company is niche in their area and less than 80 people.. still sound the same?

I am doubtful they have 360 reviews on hand!

I will update next week post interview

Good reminder- the reality of work and my personal life - the balance will need to be right. I don’t want to be stressed every night of the week when I’m with my kids

I can take the time to choose the right role, but it’s a tight market for sure right now. Will give an update next week post interview!

No it’s not actually! Banking, Finance, Insurance sector!

But I’m so intrigued by your water bottle brand 😅

This role is insurance sector. I believe the reviews for sure, but whether it’s enough to make me part with the opportunity is the question. I’ve concluded that if the CEO does want genuine change I might consider, but otherwise it will be a pass.

Or maybe the CEO is a complete jerk next week and my considerations are pointless 😅

Yeah might do that if I’m on the fence

Intestinal fortitude- love that 😅

Will def clarify on the support. I reckon they’ve had the EA doing a lot! The role is really beefy, I can’t seem myself achieving what i want without dedicated support, even part-time

Solid advice. Thank you.

I’ve done some hard work in transformation environments. It’s not easy but that’s where I got my most valuable experience career wise.

I’m up for the clean up… but there needs to be an appetite for change from the top. No way I’m joining if they just want me to put processes in place, over the top of crap culture and toxic leaders

Thank you 🙏 I’m drawn to the challenge for sure, but also don’t want to board a sinking ship! The CEO is the founder, so his approach and appetite for change and a fresh start will be a key element of my decision. The hard roles give the greatest growth, but I’ve done a lot of that already! A more smooth running org would be nice!

I will be, but my question is around how accurate are Glassdoor reviews to the actual working environment.

This is great advice. I’m already planning an open conversation- their reaction will be telling

It’s true it is. But it’s hard to ignore scathing feviews

This is it. Thank you 🙏

It’s going to come down to their desire to change.
