Pros

Because of all the drama, conspiracy and idiocy to the point where you almost ask yourself if you accidentally entered an institution of the mentally disabled instead of an office, there's never a boring day. Thanks to the hire-and-fire culture and people voluntarily fleeing the place in masses, you always get to meet new people, which is great. And if you don't like them, that's ok too because they'll probably be gone soon anyway. Win-win!

Cons

More of a jerkplace than a workplace

Hello there, Firstly I’d like to sincerely apologise for your seemingly disappointing experience. This is the first we have heard of your ordeal, and sincerely wish you had voiced your thoughts and feelings prior to your departure from the company. Together we could have resolved any problems which you may have faced. One of the many challenges we are faced with, as a start-up is reacting to a fast-paced environment. This isn’t suitable for everyone. Investoo Group is the perfect working environment for those who are willing to dive in at the deep end and enjoy having a high level of autonomy in their role. Having said that, our supportive team are always more than willing to offer their assistance if anyone is in need of a little guidance. With regards to your comment on fake reviews, all reviews are anonymous. We welcome feedback and consistently use the information provided to build a better workplace for all of our employees. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this insightful feedback. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Major Redundancy - Toxic Environment

Pros

If you befriend the management and C Level employees, you will have a great time! Free beers on Friday Free lunch on Wednesday Central Office No need to work on notice or redundancy

Cons

In all honesty, they just shave off the axe on employees without any warning. A lot of redundancy has been happening, and I strongly believe the resources being invested are done in a wrong way. This is not the place to work with if you are looking for a stable job. It can prove to be very rewarding but isn't worth it with all the stress of not knowing who will be the next one to be let go. It could be you perhaps...? If you are made redundant, and tell friends or other employees, they try to use the scare tactic that might risk you not getting paid for being let go.

Hi there, I am disappointed to hear that you are so disillusioned by your experience with us here at Investoo Group. Hopefully I can address some of the issues you have raised. Startups are notorious for having a high attrition rate and it's a difficult task retaining and engaging existing employees but something we are very conscious of. These decisions are never made lightly and are given a lot of thought, a fair process is always followed and our people are given lots of notice and support. Keeping communication open has been a big focus for us in the last 6 months. We provide multiple modes of communication among managers and employees which is evident through our increase in company meetings, monthly all hands, 1:1s and anonymous survey feedback routes. A recent survey found that the majority of staff feel they are aware of changes that happen in the company showing a material improvement from our last survey in May. I’m glad you note that we provide people with rewarding career opportunities. We have drastically improved our long-term approach in order to maintain a sustainable business. One of the many ways in which we do so is providing employees with the opportunity to progress to higher positions within the company. Lastly, I’d like to thank you for your review. We will take on board your comments, improving our company and the environment in which we work. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at david@investoogroup.com.

Pros

All the fun and hardworking people that were there are gone now you are left with people that are messed up really!

Cons

There is nothing positive anymore about this company. You can see that the latest reviews on the 24th of Sept are fake. They were all uploaded the same day and the content is similar. How great Investoo is! Well all false! It is very easy to create fake accounts and they are so desperate that they are doing that, instead of accepting the fact that things are wrong and try to fix them. Some very old reviews are true though. There are so many things that I would like to say to protect people from working for this company. I do not have bad feelings but I have seen so many good and hardworking people getting fired/redundant or leaving on their own and I want to protect the people that want to work there. It will probably take me days to write all the bad things that are going on there. But I will say 3 things: 1) Do not believe when they tell you there are great opportunities for you. There are not. 2)You will want to leave because there are a lot of C level ridiculous and incompetent people. 3) You will be going to work and every day you will think that this is your last day, especially after you realise what is going on there!

Hi there, Firstly, I am very sorry that you feel this way. We do not condone dishonest reviews and we believe one of the most valuable ways to better a company is through constructive criticism, so thank you for taking the time to provide a review. With regards to the three issues you have raised, I can assure you that we are always trying to better ourselves and make Investoo Group an exciting and enjoyable company to work for. Our employees have the opportunity to attend different workshops, conferences and forums to better their skills and knowledge. We actively encourage employees to provide feedback on processes and schemes at Investoo Group. This way we can increase the number of opportunities we provide for our staff. Investoo Group is constantly growing, therefore there has been a need to implement a new level of management within the company’s current structure. In a start-up environment like ours, there are times of restructure which we appreciate can be unsettling for our employees. I would like to assure you, we want to work with every employee to ensure that they are happy and secure within their job at Investoo Group. If you would like to ask any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us.
