Really struggling to find any.
Inconvénients
For the last 12 - 18 months the company has been spiralling. There's been a lot of change without any meaningful change at all. At the top level there appears to be a lot of new positions seemingly created out of thin air to look as though the company is progressing or restructuring with the same people "moving into strategic positions", while at the bottom of the ladder people are either being made redundant, leaving of their own accord, or stuck festering in the same role with no career progression and the walls closing around them. There appears to be a disparity between the teammates on the front lines and the SLT which sit with their head buried in spreadsheets and numbers to determine how the business is performing. While good employees are moving on be it through their own choice or redundancy, they aren't being replaced. When people who have been at the business for 10+ years are leaving, you should realise you're doing something wrong. The offshoring direction Insight are taking is not a replacement it's a step backwards and it's being noticed. On projects it is impossible to work with these resources who can only follow a script and cannot think for themselves, yet our Sales teammates are being told to use this cheaper resource and questioned mid-project why EMEA resources are being used when GDN are available. Clients are beginning to notice and are leaving as a result. The strategy for bringing business in is failing. Multiple practices are going without work as Insight look for the bigger deals that are not landing. There could be multiple reasons for this, but I suspect it is a combination of many: sales excellence and an influx of sales teammates leaving, trying to position GDN as a capable delivery resource, deal "qualification". I've never known a business to turn away the potential for work but that's effectively what happens on a daily basis in the hope of landing that one-in-a-million deal that doesn't come. Meanwhile teammates are starving for work. Being forced out the door because of low utilisation or being put on the bench, which ultimately then leads to low utilisation, which ultimately leads to redundancy. It's a cycle Insight has created themselves and seemingly won't be satisfied with until there's nobody left in EMEA. Yet those "small" (in Insight's eyes) projects that are turned away could generate revenue, lead to larger opportunities directly or indirectly, keep teammates happy and busy, and provide the kind of on job training that Talent Pool will never succeed at doing. Whether it's due to boredom or fear for our jobs it's painful to see morale so low among teammates and it's a far cry from Hunger, Heart and Harmony.
