Diverse and rewarding - Director of Finance and Operations GDST Employee Review

Varied role across multiple schools

Unmanageable workload across multiple schools

Nice location and the office is nice.

During my time at this organisation, I observed a significant lack of diversity and an insular, cliquish team culture. There was also an excessive level of micromanagement which seemed to only be directed to me. After raising legitimate concerns about the behaviour of a particular line manager, I was effectively marginalised and unsupported, seniority was prioritised over fairness or objectivity. I experienced clear differential treatment compared to other colleagues, which contributed to considerable anxiety. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this workplace, particularly to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds.
