Good on paper, rotten on the inside - Anonymous employee Alchemist (UK) Employee Review

The talent across the business is what makes it special. From its internal teams and its unsung hero’s in terms of associates. Without this the business would be more like a slavery regime.

Group CEO and senior leaders are snakes. Even when you are delivering results you will be pushed out and you won’t be given any warning. HR is ex met and treats people like criminals. I’d steer clear of them if you want to keep your sanity, pride and integrity. Biggest issue is the SLT have never run a business like this and the investors are ruthless and see you as a number, but not like a valuable number one it will delete just to replace because they can. Don’t be fooled by its allure and stories, they are backs against the wall 24/7 and you will work beyond your hours, no extra pay, not recognition. Don’t expect any training on your role either, nobody has had training it’s essentially a business full of fakers and all they are in it for is money. Stay away!

Loved the people I worked with, great manager ! Flexibility was amazing

Salary was not great - may have changed !
