Toxic Environment Masked by Diversity Optics - Anonymous employee NEL CSU Employee Review

Found the culture incredibly toxic. It was a disorganised, “fly by the seat of your pants” kind of place, with no real structure or clear communication. There was a strong “pick me” culture that made collaboration difficult and unhealthy. While senior leadership (at the very top) seemed more competent, I wasn't directly managed by them. Instead, the day-to-day management felt more about power and control than supporting their team. It was particularly disappointing to feel like the token BME team member—there to tick a box rather than being genuinely included or treated equally. If you're looking for a healthy, supportive work environment, I’d strongly suggest looking elsewhere
