EMMA International Reviews

Role boundaries are unclear and responsibilities frequently expand well beyond the original job description. Employees may find themselves managing administrative work, operational coordination, internal systems transitions, client support, pipeline management, and proposal development all at once. There is a strong expectation of constant availability and immediate responsiveness, which can extend beyond standard working hours. A 40-hour workweek is treated as the minimum expectation rather than the standard, with hours regularly extending beyond that. Communication from leadership can at times feel unprofessional and would not be considered appropriate in most workplace settings. A recurring theme involves leadership speaking negatively about both former and current employees. This type of commentary creates an uncomfortable work environment, affects team morale, and raises questions about how any employee may be discussed when they are not in the room. Turnover in certain roles has been noticeable. Several people cycling through the same role within a two year period is worth examining as a structural issue rather than an individual one. There is also a heavy operational dependency placed on very few employees, which suggests the business would benefit from stronger operational structure overall.
