Portland Communications Reviews

Where to begin? During a recent mass exodus of staff, people's leaving speeches regularly told "funny" anecdotes of outgoing employees crying or breaking down at their desks. If that's not a red flag, not sure what is! People are some of the rudest, most self-entitled people I've ever come across. Zero manners or concern for others' wellbeing, just self-aggrandizing egomaniacs who think they're a lot smarter than they really are. People stay at Portland for years despite the dire company culture and miserable prospects because they think it's a great stepping stone. In reality, it's turning more toxic by the day and I imagine it will encounter the same fate as Bell Pottinger before too long. If you have morals, don't bother coming to Portland. You'll be asked to work on some questionable clients. Any moral objections will be disregarded.

- All company meetings show high levels of dissatisfaction (no work-life balance, hierarchical company, big egos in the company). How Portland addresses it? Giving free pizza and drinks at the office. - they blame “agency life” for everything that doesn’t work in their advantage - senior leadership has bad management style, many love to be “feared” or feel too “powerful” … very high school like behaviour, noticeable during socials - for more evidence ask about turnaround or former “Portlanders” who have experienced this. workplace to avoid!
