This is a company with a consistently high turnover rate, and after working here it’s very clear why. People don’t tend to leave for better opportunities, particularly when valued, they leave because the environment becomes unsustainable and undeniably toxic.
The culture is built on pressure, not leadership. Expectations are unrealistic from the outset, workloads are excessive, and there is absolutely no support to help employees meet them. When things inevitably fall short, the responsibility is placed entirely on individuals and this is where things start to get ugly.
Concerns raised are routinely ignored or brushed aside, which creates a culture where people feel unheard and undervalued. There is also a noticeable lack of integrity in leadership, what is said publicly about values and culture often does not reflect the reality of how people are treated day to day.
There is a strong sense of a “revolving door” where people are pushed to their limits, beaten down by bully boy tactics and replaced rather than developed or retained. Morale is low, and trust in leadership is now non-existent.
Work-life balance is poor, with little flexibility or understanding for employees’ lives outside of work, particularly if you have children. The expectation is that work comes first, regardless of personal circumstances.
Pay is incredibly low for the level of responsibility and pressure involved, and progression or pay increases are minimal or do not exist - never mind the promised 'bonus'. Effort and performance do not appear to be fairly reflected in compensation.
The company promotes a “people first” ethos, but in practice, the focus is overwhelmingly on profit. Employees are treated as expendable, and the culture feels transactional rather than supportive.
Overall, this is not a healthy or sustainable working environment. The gap between how the company presents itself and the reality internally is dramatically different.
