Cons
This company deserves a rating of 0. The decision to merge these two firms has proven disastrous, especially for the employees. The clash the different work cultures has inflicted the employees, who are bearing the brunt of this misalignment. The alarming turnover rate is evidence of the toxic atmosphere that pervades the workplace. Cliques are causing division both within and between teams. Negative gossip and manipulative management tactics are common. There is a glaring need for more structured training, onboarding procedures, or well-documented processes. Instead, the approach seems to be 'ask X person for help,' placing responsibility on lower-level staff to train new hires. This lack of support leads to mistakes resulting from miscommunication or inexperience with certain accounts or processes. These are met with excessively harsh reprimands, causing employees to question their career trajectories. Despite claims of commitment to diversity and inclusion, these values are merely checkboxes to be ticked off without genuine effort to foster a healthy and inclusive work environment. Employees who voice their concerns or frustrations are met with dismissive responses from management, who insist that they should be grateful to have a job and refrain from speaking out lest they risk termination. The toxicity of this agency only became apparent to me after I had departed. While efforts to reconcile the cultural disparities between Subject Matter and Kivvit are supposedly ongoing, favoritism remains palpable. High performers are overlooked for promotion or salary increases unless they actively advocate for themselves, and even when they do succeed, their achievements are used against them as a means of exerting control. Save yourself the trouble and seek opportunities elsewhere.
