Pros

There are some lovely people who work here, mainly in the more junior roles. The events themselves are amazing and clients love what the company does so there’s a real sense of achievement and purpose. 4 day week (although this perk does gets used against you frequently)

Cons

The CEO is a visionary who means well but has wildly unrealistic expectations and is an incredibly bad manager who offers zero support to his staff. He has very obvious favourites, even amongst the junior staff, but can drop you in a second for no apparent reason and then you can do nothing right. There are some very questionable people in middle management who thrive on power, bully their staff and act solely for personal gain with no interest in sharing wins with their team. Decisions are always made extremely last minute and even then will often be changed further down the line - putting staff under unnecessary pressure and compromising the final product. The external HR team have no idea what is going on in the company and couldn’t care less about the employees. Watched a lot of brilliant people’s mental health decline from working here, totally unnecessary and sad.

Worse Place I Have Ever Worked.

Pros

The events are exciting and you learn to deal with mental health breakdowns in a big way.

Cons

I ended up taking a pay reduction on what i was paid in my last job because there are no benefits. Toxic leadership and bullying from middle management and Events Director. Everyone is anxious and nervous because every thing is last minute and nobody knows how to put plan anything. CEO is a narcassist and changes his mind 100 times a day so the teams are cleaning up his mess. Worse place i've ever worked. There is no HR in the business and the outsourced HR people don't care at all. Not a people company at all.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad you recognised some positives during your time here, but we were surprised by a few of the points you raised, as they don’t reflect our policies or the experience of the majority of our team. You were with us for less than a year, so it’s possible you didn’t experience the full range of benefits and opportunities available. We do not reduce salaries once agreed in fact, our salaries are generous, especially for those who are highly successful and performing members of our community. Our benefits package includes a share option scheme, bonus plan, four-day work week, six-week paid sabbatical after six years, pension, healthcare, and the chance to travel to five-star hotels in some of the world’s most extraordinary locations. That’s why we have to ask, are we really talking about the same company? While our close-knit, high-energy culture with high standards isn’t for everyone, many of our team members have found lifelong friendships, remarkable career growth, and unique experiences here. We wish you good luck in your future career and hope you find a role that’s the right fit for you. Kind regards, Serge Dive CEO, This is Beyond

Worst company ever worked for - made me want to kill myself

Pros

Trying to do something great in the industry and offer amazing travel perks Clients are all really lovely Good salary and benefits such as 4 day working week

Cons

If you don’t seem grateful to travel you won’t fit in. Clicky culture amongst all the female employees who hate eachother and talk about eachother behind their backs but then come together like a cult when someone new comes along. CEO tricks you into thinking you are perfect for the role but will drop you in a second. He does not care for his staff or listen to what they have to say or give them any chances of surviving in what seems like a cult company. If you don’t fit in they isolate you and bully you. My manager passed off all of my ideas as her own. Rude AND ABUSING CULTURE. They just don’t care. Cried in the bathrooms due to bullying. I was in therapy for a year after working for this company and was suicidal due to their treatment of me.
