MX Business Network Reviews

The company culture is deeply toxic and hostile. Micromanagement is extreme. You’re monitored by CCTV, your devices are accessed without warning, and even being a minute late is treated like a punishable offense. Boundaries are non-existent. You’re expected to be available at all times, and refusal to comply is frowned upon, if not used against you. While I personally didn’t allow myself to be affected by this, it’s clearly part of the environment. Team culture is virtually nonexistent. Feedback is not welcomed and is often taken as a personal attack. Upper management regularly uses foul language with junior staff. Constructive dialogue is impossible when intimidation and egotism dominate leadership. The owner appears to care, but is completely disconnected from the day-to-day reality. Senior management is allowed to behave however they please, with no checks or accountability. HR is powerless and is nothing but a mouthpiece for leadership. Favouritism runs deep. If you’re not in the good graces of a select few in upper management, your time at the company is likely to be short-lived. Or made increasingly difficult until you’re pushed out. There have been numerous unjust firings. I personally know at least five employees who were terminated abruptly with no clear explanation. Very few people make it past the six-month probation period. I was ultimately forced out as well, a common tactic used to remove those who don’t conform to the toxic hierarchy. There is no recognition for hard work, no overtime policy despite regularly being expected to work extra hours, and no clear or consistent job description. What you're hired to do often changes post-joining, with no clarity or consent. In some cases, people are recruited under a specific designation only to find themselves doing an entirely different job once they start.
