Toxic management and a hostile work environment - Manager The Access Group (UK) Employee Review

Pros

None really. It’s not a good place to work

Cons

Terrible attitude from head of architecture. Rumours of him “firing someone because they were sat down for a stand up”, and first hand experience of him saying he can get anyone fired he doesn’t like

Pros

A wide variety of benefits - good FTO, excellent health plans

Cons

Zero communication from management and abrupt changes with no warning or direction. Access talks a big game to its acquired companies and employees about how they want to work with us and fold us into the family. But in practice this isn't the case for everyone: things may be fine for a while, but when that restructuring eventually comes it will happen without any warning.

Thanks for your review and sorry to hear about this experience. We’ve successfully integrated around 100 businesses into Access over the last decade, and we know that change, however well managed, can feel unsettling. We have dedicated teams who work closely with acquired colleagues through integration, and we'll keep on evolving and improving our approach to make sure they feel fully informed and listened to during the process.
