E.ON reviews

- Too many managers. - Some teams are treated more favorably than others. - You'll only advance up the competency ladder (how you get your pay rises) if your face fits. - The competency ladder is not a measure of how well you are able to do your job but rather, how well you are able to detail how great you are on paper. - Terrible systems. - Employees constantly have to record everything that they are doing - this is a huge waste of time. - Employees are constantly threatened with being placed on performance plans. Not completing your competency ladder? Performance plan for you. Been off on long term sick due to serious illness? Performance plan for you. Been to the toilet one too many times? Performance plan for you too! - Operational excellence is a joke and is again, a massive waste of time. - Managers don't actually know what their team does. Staff members would have far more respect for management if they understood the work undertaken by the team and were able to pull their sleeves up and get their hands dirty now and again when required.

Company internal culture has changed recently from a balanced agile to an aggressive lean culture often leaving employees very disillusioned as most of the time people just want to get on with work and be treated as adults, very hard to see black or other ethnic minority in most of the senior positions suggesting a lack of understanding of the benefits of diversity, vast number of middle management roles and operational process that are sometimes unnecessary when reviewing output, strategy to split company means that staff currently have to bear the consequences and only time will tell if it was a bad idea
