So many people leaving

Anonymous employee

Pros

Free lunch on Wednesday and Thursday Most people are lovely but it's not enough to change culture

Cons

No one is really asking the question... Why are people leaving? HR is putting so much effort into hiring but they can't keep up with the rate of people leaving. . some of the leaders are really nice but they don't stand up to the big boss who can be unpleasant . Some bad behaviour at senior level goes unchallenged over and over. Many people leave because of 2 or 3 particularly unpleasant individuals.

Highly toxic environment

Pros

People outside of senior management who make it bearable.

Cons

Unfortunately this company has a toxic culture with untrustworthy and manipulative leadership, with extremely outdated morals. It is now a cut throat place to work meaning that staff feel constantly on edge, with leaders providing a lot of false promises and ‘we are the best’ attitudes which simply do not match reality. Sadly the place has lost all of the fun and excitement it once had. Low pay (always behind the curve on what people should actually be on, with no pay rises or bonuses for years on end due to never hitting targets) and a constant expectation to be ‘proving yourself’ for zero recognition. A culture of bullying and gossip that has been bred by senior managers behaviour. If you hand in your notice you will simply get ignored (by one narcissistic senior leader in particular) until you leave. Many get ‘managed out’ via manipulation from the senior team, setting people up to fail and putting in place completely unachievable ‘goals’ that are impossible meet, so they can then build up a case against you. So many leaving under NDA says a lot. When you are out and in a normal, healthy working environment do you realise how bizarre this culture is. HR are extremely unprofessional - I ended up finding out much more than I should and witnessed some appalling HR conduct that they got away with, that should be questioned (majority of it is just dictated by senior management).

Racism and toxicity

Pros

Fake rah rah culture that only supports straight-out-of-college young white girls, but also exploits them by making them work literal 15-20 hour workdays. That’s the only way to be successful here.

Cons

Such clear and blatant biases in how non-white folks are treated, or anyone who chooses to use their experience and expertise to improve the work culture. It’s worse than I ever expected, every single non-white employee knows and sees the fake culture clearly. Absolutely no work life balance, it’s extremely toxic with a fake and creepy smile slapped on.
