Mention Me Reviews

The pay The product market fit - this is a sinking ship Micro management Overworked Asked to do a lot of processes that are never actually used - massive waste of time No progression internally

Working here was a polarising experience for me. While my colleagues were really nice people, the professional environment was deeply dysfunctional. I had to change job to regain my footing and recover my confidence. The company talks big about progressive values but underneath, lies a reality of severe mismanagement and psychological unsafety. A few reviews mentioned gaslighting and I have also experienced this firsthand on numerous occasions. For instance: 1. Leadership would set priorities one day and completely deny them the following day. 2. Management would constantly undermine leaders in front of their peers killing the trust that was needed to run a team. 3. Everything was micromanaged to the 7th degree. From email syntax to presentation slides and execution. My line manager would continusously interrupt me during high-stakes presentations that they had approved the day before. 4. I remember workshops on "active listening” and micro-aggressions when leadership was (in practice) dictatorial. A popular manager would often take up 25 minutes of a 30-minute team workshop before letting anyone else speak. Another time I remember an executive was asked to motivate a struggling team with an inspirational speech but during the speech it became obvious the exec didn't even know who the team was and what they did. 5. Worst of all for me was the forced trauma culture cultivated by senior management who would regularly use work channels to broadcast intense personal tragedies and other deeply private matters which eventually trickled down into everyday business meetings. Coming from the top, this way of running business felt emotionally heavy, draining and manipulative as the staff had to ‘participate’ in trauma-dumping just to be team players.
