Pros

I joined UBDS due to the autonomy, flexibility and passion they had to continuing to build diverse, inclusive and exciting work force - something that I am delighted has been the continuing message and outlook throughout my time here. In my role I hold a large degree of autonomy and flexibility in how I work and when I work, something that was a big factor in me joining the business in August 2021. I really enjoy the range and diversity of people I talk, in terms of area and level of expertise but also from a cultural perspective also

Cons

For me, I see no downsides, yes we move at an incredible pace when it comes to creating & standing up teams, hiring new talent and often that means our needs may change almost overnight - but that is consultancy! Likewise sometimes we take a moment to make a decision, but as a growing company we have to try and make sure we get the right people and the right time and ensure we aren't rushing into, that could damage our business, reputation but also it might not be the right decision for the candidate.

Thank you for your insight - the consulting world is fast moving but also offers the opportunity for massive career growth and increase of an individual's skills knowledge. I agree wholeheartedly with hiring right the first time - for the business and the individuals sake. As a people focused organisation we need to take time to plan our recruitment and not rush it!

Really, truly awful place to work

Pros

There are some very talented, genuine people who work there. I can't understand why they stay.

Cons

Awful atmosphere with bullying behaviour by CEO and some of his team. Micro management everywhere, random priorities coming at you out of the blue, changing from one day to the next. It is, and I cannot stress this enough, soul destroying. Many reviews on here have clearly been 'encouraged'. Just go into it with your eyes open.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at UBDS was so negative. While we’re proud to work alongside many talented and committed individuals, we regret that your time with us felt so disheartening. Allegations of bullying or poor leadership conduct are serious and do not reflect the standards we expect at UBDS. However, we have no record of any concerns of this nature being reported at any time in the company. Without the opportunity to understand and address issues directly, we are unable to determine whether such claims are accurate or take meaningful steps to resolve them. We remain committed to fostering a respectful, transparent culture and value all feedback—positive or developmental—as part of that process. We wish you the very best for the future.

Pros

UBDS employs some amazing and talented people who are wonderful to work with.

Cons

My experience in UBDS was not a positive one and ultimately had a significant impact on me. I would not recommend the Delivery arm of this company to anyone. Whilst there are some great people; the leadership, processes and culture that underpin the company are not so delightful and not fit for purpose. Micro aggression, bullying, mistrust, micromanagement and lack of respect for one’s team mates at best, and at worst an environment that seeks to blame, gaslight, discriminate and shame. I believe that we all should work in environments free from fear where collaboration is foremost. Recognition should be meaningful. A healthy working environment must be inclusive. Everyone regardless of their personal characteristics must be treated fairly. In UBDS leadership do not demonstrate these behaviours and without a doubt this has a negative effect.

I’m sorry to hear that you had a negative experience working at UBDS. It sounds like you personally faced issues with the company’s leadership, processes, and culture. I do agree that it is important for companies to foster a healthy and inclusive work environment where everyone is treated fairly and with respect. UBDS strives for this culture and all other feedback that we have received to date indicates that we are achieving this. I do hope that you find the right environment for you going forward and we wish you well.
