Fear-based management and cult environment

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

People are passionate and skilled in digital. The Newcastle office is better because the people are more genuine. People generally seem to be a bit brainwashed given that they stay regardless of how they are treated. Clients seem good but are really random so the real work does not match the vision or ambition. But there are acknowlegements of this at times.

Cons

CEO belittles his employees in front of people on a regular basis. He will fully cut someone down to tears and the next day everyone in that same room seem cheerful and unaffected. It's toxic and manipulative and just weird. Environment is dated and juvenile, not just due to the fake grass, beanbags and plastic animals. It's also the playground mentality too. People are afraid to speak up as only the management has a voice. Playing favourites is quite obvious too.

What a nightmare

Pros

Good clients and good office location

Cons

Horrific experience; the way you are treated by the management team is truly shocking, and could easily be classed as bullying. I love how their website is all about happy faces and people getting on. The harsh reality is IT WONT be like that. Tarek and co seem to use their 'power' to abuse those below them.

Long hours, cliquey management, difficult CEO

Pros

General staff are great to work with. People enjoy what they are working on, and passionate about what they do. Interesting and varied clients. Opportunity to learn a lot.

Cons

There is a cliquey atmosphere that comes from the top down. It's hard to question management, and makes for an uncomfortable environment. The CEO can be extremely unprofessional and can be a bully at times. Randomly breaking property is a quirk of his. The expectation to do long hours is ridiculous, with late night and weekend working sessions diary entries. Tendency for away trips to be excessively juvenile and loutish, with culture too alcohol focused. Lack of basic benefits such as health and dental care.
